The Dreams of Foreign Lands and Future

Ott, a careless school student, accidentally follows the steps of Yuri Gagarin and gets on a space trip, where he learns that the simple down-to-earth things do matter.

Point of view: you buy a vacuum cleaner and when you switch it on, it starts a manhunt with you being the main target. A witness of its time, this late 70s animation follows the very recognizable Pop-Art style.

Stress, anxiety, time pressure, a lot of things to sort out at once. Sounds familiar? There is an exit – just take a break and dream of the far surreal worlds.

Jack – who might as well be a good friend of Ott from the first film of the programme – builds a futuristic assistant to help him through school and life.

This experimental view on a city of the future from 50 years ago invites us to critically assess the development of mankind and try to answer the question whether we are in this city yet.

Another piece from Elbert Tuganov takes us to the African desert. Treasure hunt, friendship, treason, and a lot of sand and sun – all the components for the great adventure are there.
