Aleksandr Petrov’s multiple award-winning animation film is based on Ernest Hemingway's 1952 novella of the same name. More than two years of painting on glass sheets, using brushes but mostly his own fingers, resulted in over 29,000 paintings that enabled Petrov to produce this absolutely awesome, one of a kind feast of colours, images, and emotions that celebrate the famous work of literature and its creator.
