Mikhael Bakhanov

One of two Georgian animated films from Two Novels.

The cartoon is based on the motifs of the Georgian folk tale "half-of-handfuler" ("მუჭანახევარა"). How society forces a person to sing the way they think is right.

The Soviet Union's rowing team becomes the champion at the World Championship. The team captain is a Georgian, who is awarded a trip by the All-Union Pioneer Organization — he is to lead a group of pioneers to Artek. He assumes the pioneers will be athletes and is shocked to discover that he is actually the leader of a girls' musical ensemble.
