    I think the English version of the title is a little misleading here, and certainly ought not to put folks off. What Simone Massi does present us with is a richly drawn selection of detailed monochrome illustrations of rural life. A young son, his mother, some red shoelaces, an appreciation of rustic farming landscapes and a glorious looking grouse all feature strikingly. This has a bleakness to it, but also a sensitive degree of warmth as, for me at any rate, it emphasised the vulnerabilities of the cycle of life. It flickers through five minutes quite compellingly.

Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness

Young Chickenhare is the adopted son of King Peter, a famous adventurer. Part chicken and part hare, he has a really tough time growing up and disguises himself as a hare to avoid the mockeries of his peers. When the day of the Royal Adventurer Society trials comes, Chickenhare, hampered by his disguise, fails miserably. But he is determined to grab a second chance and find the Scepter of the Hamster of Darkness, before his evil Uncle Lapin. The Scepter will give immense power to its holder. If Lapin gets hold of it, he will be unstoppable. Accompanied by his faithful servant Abe, a sarcastic turtle, and Meg, a martial arts expert skunk, he sets of on an epic and initiatory quest.
