Yelizaveta Tarakhovskaya

Adapted from four different Russian folk-tales, this early Soviet fantasy film tells the story of Emelya the Fool, who, fishing one day, catches a talking pike who pleads for his life and in return grants Emelya wishes for a life spared.

The tale about a magic fish that too literally understands the wishes of lazy fool. Staged from Sergey Obraztsov's Puppet Theater.
