A Russian mystery miniseries set both in medieval times and in the days of Perestroika.

One day, Valera wanted to do a good deed, to save the endangered animals. But what should we do if the one we want to help is five times bigger than you and ideally you would hold in your stomach?

Bestiary is an animated collection of poems-pies by the poet Igor Melnikov. The main idea runs through all the poems: people are a bit of animals in both good and bad senses. The leitmotif of this can serve as a pie: I walk with a monster in my arms and my monsters are waiting for me at home and look out the window and breathe on the glass

In rural Siberia, where there is only an airfield and a village club disco for entertainment, the city goat arrives to work. In such a small village, she immediately attracts attention.

It is not much fun having to spend the whole day in a banana costume. But things take a turn for the worse for this poor chap when one day he wakes up to discover he has grown a long tail. At first he tries to get rid of it. But no matter what he tries – doctors, saws, healers – nothing seems to help. He cannot hide it either. It is just too long and it is always poking out. And so he just tries to live with his tail. But before long the poor guy hast lost his job, his friends, everything. Nobody wants him. But would it not be a pity if there were no place in this world for such a kind person who is just a little bit different? An inventively quirky animation laced with black humour that pokes fun at narrow-mindedness and intolerance.
