Fatamorgana 2

Fatamorgana 2

1983 · 10 min · Animation

In the second part of the film, the optics of the story changes. The block, which emerged from the lake at sunrise, stops wandering, stopping in the water, and its inhabitants indulge in summer relaxation. In the evening - at sunset - they will return, walking on water, to their apartments, and the building will again be immersed in the lake. And all to the rhythm of Zygmunt Konieczny's music, in the first part - more marching, in the second - elegiac.

Dobranocka · 1997

The protagonist of the film is a rabbit (hare), who experiences various adventures, meets strange people and strange situations. The film begins with a sequence of dreams, but the dream events are repeated in the real world and have their continuation. Everything ends well. This is how the plot looks like in a nutshell. But the mood and atmosphere of the film is difficult to verbalize, because it is assumed to be ambiguous, just as the painting of Stasys Eidrigevičius is ambiguous.
