There Was a Piano-Tuner... (Russian: Жил-был настройщик…|Zhil-byl nastroyshchik...) is a 1979 Soviet feature comedy film directed by Vladimir Alenikov.[2] [3]

Plot

A modest and nondescript[4] eccentric tuner Ivan Ivanovich, who dreams of being a conductor, walks around the apartments of different people, tuning musical instruments. His way to work is always accompanied by adventures — either a neighbor with an expander climbs up to him, or an eccentric magician deceives him. Among his clients, there are also different people: this is a deaf old man who has all the notes sinking in, and a little chess player girl, whose relatives are constantly deciding who she should be in the future. And suddenly one day the tuner, going to the addresses, meets the woman of his dreams — sublime and inaccessible.[5] [6]
