Award: Golden Pelican at the 1966 Mamaia International Animation Film Festival.
The third directing work of Fyodor Khitruk.
The scenario is based on the fairy tale of the Czech writer Milos Matsourek "Boniface and his nephews".
The moral of this fable is simple and wise. A true artist has not and cannot have a vacation. He, by the will of his own heart, is always at work, in the works.
The script, written by F. Khitruk conceptually changed the story told by a Czech writer. A short, slightly sad tale for children of primary and secondary school age about a circus lion who came home for the holidays and instead of resting tirelessly giving ideas for his "little, amusing nephews" successfully transformed into a rather philosophical story about the power of Kindness and Kindness of the Force. at the same time combining mild humor with lyricism.
