Family Marathon

1981 · 9 min · ★ 6.7 · Animation

The husband prepares for the marathon, rests, and meanwhile the wife prepares food, feeds the children and husband, cleans and so on. During the competition, it is she who produces amazing results of speed and ingenuity, accompanying and saving her husband at all stages. It turned out that despite his stocky height, he is a helpless child who cannot run a marathon without help, but as a result, fame and recognition go to him. Volodymyr Dakhno worked on this film with the master of graphic grotesque artist Radna Sakhaltuyev. The social pro-feminist content is wrapped in an ironic, somewhat psychedelic form.

Directed by Volodymyr Dakhno
