AnimationComedyDramaFamilyFantasy20 min
In a snowy village, a hapless peasant heads into the winter woods to fetch a New Year tree and turns a simple errand into a chain of absurd misadventures. The forest seems to have a mind of its own: directions slip, objects change shape, and every shortcut leads him farther from home. As he improvises his way through talking creatures, shifting landscapes, and the consequences of his own laziness and greed, the task keeps growing stranger. Alexander Tatarsky’s clay animation turns the familiar holiday ritual into a comic battle between one small man and a world that refuses to behave.
