It is a documentary film about life of the famous animator, the creator of legendary Soviet cartoons "Cheburashka", "Varezhka", "The Mystery of the Third Planet".


   The documentary contains interviews with his not less renowned colleagues: Leonid Shvartsman, Vyacheslav Shilobreev, Natalya Orlova, Stanislav Sokolov, and his son Roman Kachanov Jr, a well-known comedy director. February 25, 2011 R. Kachanov would have turned 90. But it is not just an anniversary eulogy.


   The film appeals to thinking audience, and represents yet another attempt to answer the insoluble question: Is it necessary to be under constant stress for successful creation of joyful and luminous artworks?
