A Trick

1993 · 10 min · Animation

A collection of miniatures for adults. Sometimes absurd, sometimes surrealistic stories about how history can take a wrong turn. The title of the almanac clearly conveys the authors' desire to overturn perceptions of the familiar and expand the boundaries of the viewer's experience by touching on the subconscious. Included are: "The Red Cup" — Serhii Baranov, "Tension" — Oleksandr Hunkovskyi, "The Doll" — Iryna Smyrnova.

Directed by Kostiantyn Baranov
