Surreal animated tale of a mental patient and the world around him.

Animated short about a man stuck in a toilet, struggling to get out.

Souvenirs, memories, nostalgia, alienation, the ephemeral quality of life ...these are the subjects of this animated diary. The film is not made in the usual way (screenplay, storyboard) and was born at the moment when the author sat at his desk and began animating. (youtube)

Animated film about a man prevented from leading his own life. People impose social dogmas on him, and rob him of his rights. (bfi.org.uk)

With fast changing visuals and moods, an artist presents his family's twentieth-century story. Although Stalin's sour image is in the background, a boy's childhood is a dreamlike world of colors and a butterfly. War interrupts youth and romance. Hitler, concentration camps, and conflagration finally give way to a mother and child (father is missing in the war), birds, beauty and more butterflies. The child grows. Pop culture arrives from America, but the grim shadow of Stalinism remains. (imdb)
