Elena Yakovleva («Kamenskaya»), Vitaly Khaev («Playing the Victim»), and Andrey Kuzichev («Hydraulics») star in an ironic detective story about how a pensioner and fan of Agatha Christie novels begins her own investigation into the murder of a neighbor.
A former teacher and now a restless pensioner, Varvara Ivanovna Slutskaya is a true connoisseur of the detective genre. She has reread all the novels by Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, and other renowned authors. Therefore, when she learns that a neighbor has been murdered in the apartment next door to her son and daughter-in-law, Varvara decides not to leave the case to the «useless investigators» and launches her own investigation. Strangely enough, she immediately finds an assistant in the case—Vyazmin, a former instructor at the Counterintelligence Academy. Varvara quickly finds common ground with him, and together they manage to learn the details of the case. The young investigator does not interfere with the pensioners, allowing them, like children, to play detectives, but soon the heroes find what the police missed. You can watch online in the series «Curious Varvara» to find out what adventure awaits the indefatigable Varvara Ivanovna.
