1989 · 10 min

A gentle, simple folk tale told in a short, unhurried burst of old-fashioned animation.

Overview
The animation is based on a Ukrainian fairy tale about an old married couple, who had no children. One day the woman asked her husband to cut down a log and put it in a cradle for a night. The old man did what she had asked him to do. Next morning, a surprise was waiting for them.
