Europe:The Trip across Time
The Owl of Athens comments on the history of Europe. It invites children for a trip through time so that they could see the most important moments and turning points that shaped the identity of Europe and Europeans. We start our journey in the days of democratic system in ancient Athens, next we get to ancient Rome, see the birth of Christianity, development of Feudal Europe in the Middle Ages. Last we are acquainted with the Enlightenment Era and with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen.
While telling the stories, the period pictures and illustrations are used as much as possible.

The animated cartoon is supposed to be a part of educative schedule for school children (age 6-10). The film was produced on the basis of a combination of 2D technology with facet and drawing animation technology. The project was supported by a grant from the funds of Government of the Czech Republic and the European Affairs Information Department.
We see a little girl with her parents who flee from totalitarian Czechoslovakia across the heavily watched and guarded frontier line. The girl is carrying with her the only toy: a puppet named „Piddizhveek“ (such toys, made of plastic textile fabric used to be sold in Czechoslovakia in 1970s). They manage to get across the barbed-wire fence to the free world, however, the girl’s toy got caught by the barbed wires. The toy „Piddizhveek“, caught in the frontier wires, strangely survives up to these days.
A group of children goes to the woods to pick mushrooms. By chance they come across the remnants of the frontier barbed-wire fence. They do not know about how Europe was split up into two parts, they have never heard about totalitarian regimes. The „Piddizhveek“ starts talking to them and it explains what the Iron Curtain was and what were the lives like of the people forced to live behind it.

A two-part film, each part covering 10 minutes.
With the help af a mixture of technologies: animated film cartoon & feature film & archival, historic shots of the square, the genius loci of Prague Wenceslas Square is captured...
The horse Ardo from St. Wenceslas sculptural group tells us what he has had to see or has learned from the stories of his ancestors. The room of Wenceslas Square is presented as kind of microcosm which has witnessed the history of the Czech state (later Czechoslovakia) throughout centuries – form the Middle Ages up to these days.
A boy and a girl from the same neighbourhood would like to meet but it is always something „more important“ that prevents them from it. They grow up and fail to meet. Only when they get older they will find a way to each other.
The film was awarded II prize at the International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, 1989 (in Short films Category).
Direction: Boris Baromykin
