Plot

The film is about a cat who loses his time, trying to do many things simultaneously and fails at everything. After that, time breaks apart, and he travels to the world of the infinite absurd. In the end, all returns to its place and problems.

Production

  • The director himself uses his own hands in the "time breaks up" scene.
  • The ship's name "Julia" is an author-related easter egg, linking to his previous cartoon "Triangle".
  • The statue was supposed to be Vladimir Lenin, but of course was censored.

Reception

The film was given a 1985 Varna World Animation Film Festival award.
