animation-fiction film, fantasy based on the motives of alexander pushkin’s
“little tragedies” (“the covetous Knight”, “the stone guest”, “Mozart and
salieri”, and “feast during the time of plague”), where the most universal
and eternal conflicts receive a particular interpretation: things, ideas
and people clash. it is a “mad” world where everything is put to test: the
immobile can move, love triumphs over death, fine aesthetic senses lead
to murder, and feasts celebrate death.
