This ten-minute animation, about a young boy capturing a butterfly and learning respect for nature in the process, possesses an eerie beauty. Drawn like an exquisite painting, director Andrei Khrzhanovsky plays with styles and aesthetics as he takes the little boy from a realistic city scape, into first a luscious oasis and then into an ever evolving dreamscape. The film toys with the ideas of ‘freedom’ and ‘power’ as the boy makes his choices.
