Description:

A clown adopts a talking stray cat who is also a shapeshifter. The cat assists the clown on stage, where he loves the public's ovations.

On a deeper level, the film reveals the complex psychological relationships between mature and childish personalities.

The film was part of the American DVD set "Masters of Russian Animation" (2000).

I find Golovanova's cartoons of the 1980s to have a really beautiful, fluid animation style, with pretty interesting screenplays as well. My favourite is still "Sweet Porridge", but I really liked this one as well. There hasn't been much commentary about it, but I liked the review by Alessandro Criscitiello that I found on LetterboxD:
"Facing loneliness together through a surreal, melancholic and virtually endless circus act. Beautiful. I'd never stop watching it."
