A TURTLE’S DREAM, by Olga Melnikova
This short film is about the turtle’s dream as a parable.
The turtle, weighed down by its shell, becomes a free bird in its dream and flies high in the sky. A man, in turn, weighed down by the system, seeks to expand territories, and so builds a house where there were once birds nested.
