Overview
Musical cartoon based on the story of the Perm writer Vladimir Vorobyov “Kaprizka - the leader of the Nichevoks.” The little man Kaprizka always appears next to the kids. And when they fall asleep, he whispers all sorts of bad things in their ears - he urges them not to listen to their parents and grandparents, makes them cry, be capricious and act out. What could this behavior mean for young children and Kaprizka himself?
