Shortly before her death, Liza sold her apartment, purchased a valuable book from an antique shop, and broke up with her beloved: he left her for a wealthier bride. Which of these events led to Liza’s tragic death? And who will become the prime suspect: her half-brother, who sought the money from the sale of the property, an antiquities dealer, or her unfaithful fiancé Ernst, who claims that Liza took her own life?
The title of the story refers to a classic work of Russian literature—the novella “Poor Liza” by Nikolai Karamzin, about a young peasant woman who drowned herself because of her unhappy love for a nobleman. You can watch the mini-Series “Moscow Mysteries: Poor Liza” online.
