Directed by Abram Room
Abram Room, Sovkino, 1927. In a cramped room on Third Meshchanskaya Street, printer Kolya puts up his friend Volodya; wife Lyuda (Lyudmila Semyonova) ends up in a three-way household the housing shortage made. She becomes pregnant, is sent for an abortion, looks at a child in a pram, and takes a train out of Moscow. Gosfilmofond preserves it as a NEP picture the studios later found too frank. The title is the furniture. She leaves both men the key.
