Tour 7. Things That Happen: Another "Empty" Room
  Summary
  Objects in the so-called "empty" (uninhabited) room, left by residents for "temporary" storage.
  Basic Facts and Background
  When: 2000

Where: A large apartment in a prestigious neighborhood of St. Petersburg, also seen in the clips of Tours 1 and 2.

What: The common storage room, whose history and contents can be seen in the clip "The Empty Room," which was filmed six years later.

This room is also a good place to smoke; we see an armchair and a jar used as an ashtray, full of cigarette butts.
