Lushins Verteidigung (2000)
Ende der Zwanzigerjahre gilt der merkwürdig auftretende Alexander Lushin als Schach-Genie. Doch in Folge seines seltsamen Erscheinens wird er als leicht verrückt angesehen. Während eines Schachturniers am Comer See kann die junge Natalia ihre Faszination für den “Verrückten” nicht verbergen und die beiden schließen zärtliche Bande, denn Natalia hat offensichtlich Mitleid mit dem vom Schicksal gebeutelten, vereinsamten Mann. Doch dann taucht Lushins einstiger Manager mit einem teuflischen Plan auf…
