Lucky

Lucky (1989) is a satirical Soviet animated short from director Rozaliya Zelma that you can watch online on iFILM. Its hero is consumed by the urge to grab, hoard and own — and that hunger quietly hollows out everything human in him.

In nine minutes the film turns the chase for possessions into a portrait of inner emptiness, with voice work by Rogvold Sukhoverko and German Kachin. Sharp, grown-up animation from the closing years of the USSR that lets the moral land on its own. Stream Lucky online on iFILM.
