THE HERON AND THE CRANE

Цапля и журавль

Directed by Yuri Norstein
Soviet Union, 1974
Animation, Short

Synopsis

In essence, The Heron and the Crane is a humorous tale of amorous indecision and self-destruction. The heron and crane will they won’t they and time passes. This early film was the first real sounding of Norstein’s mature genius. An absolute gem of the great animator’s work.
