A few comical and tragic stories, seen and sketched by the Danish artist Herlouf Bidstroup, animated and transferred to the screen by the artists of the studio "Soyuzmultfilm". In emotionally bright, exciting and memorable screen sketches, for all its seeming fleetingness and sketchiness, the whole world is seen before us, seen by a thoughtful artist, a generalizing image of society with all its worries, deformities and sorrows.

From his early silent works, the great Russian film director, Herr Yakov Protazanov, made literary adaptations from equally great Russian writers, as is the case with "Chiny I Lyudi" ( Ranks And People ) (1929) in which three short stories by Chekhov, "Anna On The Neck", "Death Of A Petty Official" and "Chameleon" were assembled for the silent screen.
