The artistic legacy of Boris Deutsch was forever changed by Lullaby, this Short landmark continues to dictate the rules of its category. We've assembled a sequence of films that complement the tone of Lullaby perfectly.
The vintage appeal of Lullaby to maintain its cult relevance across several decades.
At a noisy inn, a young servant woman tries to sing a baby to sleep. The innkeeper and his wife berate and abuse the servant. Later that night, in hunger, misery, and desperation, she leaves and wanders through a Chagal-like landscape. The baby's cries wake up the innkeeper and his wife. Where has the woman gone? For whom is the lullaby?
