The film deals with the process of drawing an animated film, of animating, of bringing a figure alive, of a scene. The creation of the filmic illusion, revealing the thoughts and tales with just a pen as only an animated film can, far removed from expensive equipment and dramatic composition. Without great gestures, charming and moving, with a fine sense of humour and yet precisely observed, finely balanced and to the point. Every movement is right, not a single line too many or too few. The devastatingly simple is so hard to make.
