Through My Thick Glasses

Sapegin, Pjotr, (film director.). Reiss-Andersen, David, (film producer.). Jean, Marcel, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.). Pravda (Oslo), (film producer.).

Summary: An old man tells his granddaughter his personal story of the Second World War. Brimming with strange characters, his tale conjures up a world beyond the little girl's comprehension. Director Pjotr Sapegin has taken a true story and transformed it into a tongue-in-cheek epic peopled with clay puppets. The animated short is dedicated to Sapegin's mother.
