Description:

A dung beetle goes about his life, while something far bigger stands above him.

Agamurad Amanov's first film - a graduation work at the School of Advanced Studies for Screenwriters and Directors, in the workshop of Eduard Nazarov and Yuriy Norshteyn. It was animated with oil paint on animation cels and features the music of Andreas Vollenweider.

Wordless except for a short narration in Russian at the end.

The film's title ("strannik") could be translated in various ways into English, including "wanderer", "nomad" and "pilgrim". Some background may be found in the Wikipedia article "Russian wandering" (although it is likely not entirely applicable, as the director was born in Turkmenistan).
