Description:

An original fairy tale about a courageous girl who rescues a red-breasted robin from the polar night and sets it free, while she herself becomes the captive.

The cartoon that gave Russian animation a new level of excellence after switching over to colour in 1945.

Pashchenko started making this at Lenfilm after finishing his critically-acclaimed first animated short, Jabzha (1938). However, the German invasion of the USSR, and the blockade of Leningrad, put a stop to that. Animation stopped being made at Lenfilm entirely, and Pashchenko eventually restarted this project at the Moscow-based studio Soyuzmultfilm with a completely different team.

Awards:
VIII ICF in Venice, 1947 - the Diploma and the Bronze medal for the best animation film.
