Plots(1)

The simple plot unfolds during a school art lesson, during which a young boy's vivid imagination confronts the "realism" required by his stuffy teacher. With its ironic tone, the piece sees the filmmakers clearly espousing free thought in defiance of rigid conservatism. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
