A philosophical fairy tale made in the
style of Russian lubok, about the
hapless money-grubber Khmyr, his
horse-wife Anna, about the fat
neighbour Foka, and about the priest,
about the nun and other scarecrows.
"Devoted to last collective-farm idler".
The film "Happiness" brought Alexander
Medvedkin wide popularity, and it was
highly praised by Eisenstein, Pudovkin
and Dovzhenko. In the 1970s it was
shown on TV in Europe and America.
