About Uncle's Apartment

Koko, played by Ivan Mozzhukhin, decides to rent out the rooms of his uncle's apartment. The tenants who take them are nothing like one another, and they all end up in the same flat. Pyotr Chardynin directed the Khanzhonkov short. The English Wikipedia also credits Yevgeni Bauer as director. Wikidata lists only Chardynin.
