Oblomov

Two episodes. First broadcast from 20050807 to 20050814.

Gentle, intelligent Oblomov completely fails to deal with life. He lives in a flat in St Petersburg. He is always about to go and sort out his estate but he rarely gets out of bed. Never doing today what he can put off until tomorrow, Oblomov is a tragic-comic hero for a couch potato generation.
