a story by Tolstoi.one of my first years memories. a book. few pictures. and, after years, a short film. about Filip, the little boy walking to school. and lovely animation. pure delight for the delicacy of pencil drawing and for the voice of Chirkov. like many Russian animations, it is result of national mark, flavor of language and precise manner to give soul to story. but more important is science to give roots to a small story, preserving not only its spirit - the image of Tolstoi is an example - but the joy of childhood. nostalgic, seductive, pure art. all the nuances of childhood and something more. maybe, the memories of old Filip who was us.
