KONYOK-gorbunok
The hunchback horse

This animated film takes up one of the most beautiful literary fairy tales of Piotr Yershov. The story narrates the tale of the modest youngster Ivan, who manages to cope with every challenge and hazardous situation with a sense of geniality and cooperativeness. His devoted companion turns out to be an inconspicuous pony in possession of wondrous powers. The director's dynamic and colourful illustrations directly tie in with elements of Russian folklore and underscore his unique standing within the field of international animated film.
