Buy the Elephant! (6+)

Russia, 2015, colour, 20 min.
Director: Anastasia Kuzyakova
The film deals with the problem of relations between a wild beast and a human being in the closed space of civilization. Three characters and three ways to build communication: Nastya, a 9 year old girl working as a shop assistant in the pet market outside Moscow, Robert, a young boy holding 10 snakes in his one-room apartment, and Katerina, an employee of the flora and fauna park “Swarms Creek” in Krasnoyarsk. The filmmakers try to figure out the motives of these people and at the same time to understand what an animal feels in such conditions.
