An ancient Latvian folk tale is the basis for this colorful animated feature in the tradition of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. A vengeful sorceress casts a kingdom’s princess into a deep sleep at the top of an icy mountain, where she awaits release from the spell that will destroy the land. Of all the men vying for the honor, the shy outcast son of a family of thugs is the most unlikely. Director Kalnaellis brings a playful sense of humor to the characterizations and adds zippy contemporary elements including a chorus of wisecracking crows. (Gene Siskel Film Center)

The life of a simple cockroach is not easy. Not only are people poisoning him at every turn, he still has to exist without a TV. And our hero has a dream - TV. Unrealizable, but a dream. And yet one morning he believed that dreams come true, because he found a whole penny. We see several episodes from his life in the barn, a trip to a restaurant that is located in the floor of a real restaurant for cockroaches, getting only the TV console instead of the TV itself.
