Synopsis
The Song About Tulips (1981) is a short animated film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Svetlana Muratkhodzhaeva tells an Eastern legend in barely seven hand-drawn minutes, carried by color and music rather than dialogue.
A poor young man named Bakhtiyar loves the beautiful Lola. Separation proves stronger than both of them: pining for her beloved, the girl turns into a tulip and leaves an undying light of love behind on the earth. The story lives in its images and its folk melody. A small, almost ornamental piece of Soviet animation for anyone who loves parables and old-school hand drawing. Stream The Song About Tulips (1981) online on iFILM.
