One of four short commercials that Norshteyn did from 1994-1995 for the company "Russian Sugar". It was his first released work since 1979, and he says that the money from doing the commercials "fed him for a whole year" and allowed him to continue working on his still-unreleased feature film "The Overcoat", which he'd started on in 1981. The commercials won him the "Breakthrough Prize" at the Open Russian Festival of Animated Film.
