Prince Ihor is going to confront the enemy army from the Polovtsian Land. The solar eclipse foreshadows the fateful finale of the battle... Epic in content and stylized as Byzantine icons in form, the animation is inspired by Kyiv myths and the masterpiece of ancient Ukrainian lyrics "The Tale of Ihor's Campaign". The film won a special jury prize at the Nyon (Switzerland) festival.
