Historical film with two shorts, "The Dirty Shot" and "The Wild Peacock", depicting famous duels of Alexander Pushkin and Casanova, the latter comically battling female seductions that inspired Mozart's Don Giovanni. The historical film consists of two shorts - The Dirty Shot and The Wild Peacock. They share a common theme in the famous duels between two important historical figures, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin and Giovanni Giacomo Casanova. Pushkin's tragic duel, which prematurely ended his life, is portrayed in connection with the creation of his short story "The Dirty Shot", while Casanova's story is conceived in a rather ironic and humorous way. The point is that the famous seducer never actually seduced, on the contrary, all his life he was in a constant battle with female seductions. That is why he was so outraged by Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, supposedly partly inspired by his fate, and clashed with the author at the Dushkovs' house in Bertramka. The story of the real duel he fought with the Polish Marshal Branicki is a mere episode in the mosaic of his rich life. —EuroFan
