This is a story about a man who brings about the end of the world, which his compatriots greet with joy and merriment. Screen adaptation of Andrei Platonov's story, created by Kyivnaukfilm studio. The animation masterfully conveys the whimsicality of the writer's prose, which exposed the absurdity and horror of Soviet life above all.
