With ten poems by the author Daniil Charms we take an imaginative journey through a colorful landscape. The texts are interpreted and interconnected in the visual world. This results in an overarching story and two possible ways of reading the poems – individually or as a whole. In summary, the visual journey proceeds as follows: (1) A thunderstorm is brewing. It drives Peter out of his house on top of a mountain. (2) Peter descends the mountain on a sled, picking up a hunter, among others. Peter and the hunter fall into a river. (3) There they watch the beginning of an underwater race, in which a frog wins because it is the first to arrive in a lake. (4) On the lake, a ghost serenades the winners. (5) A lake dweller decides to leave. He runs across a meadow to the forest to fly away with a rocket. (6) Two trees watch the spectacle and talk about it. Three frogs, frightened by the rocket, jump away. (7) And join a number of animals that dance after a musician across a field. (8) The animals move together into a city, where they join the spectacle. An elephant jumps out of the picture. (9) And continues to run down to the beach. There he visits the house of a mouse. This is too small for an elephant and explodes. The little mouse is catapulted into the sea. (10) It sails next to the boat of a father and his son. Something falls into the water that turns out to be the sea dweller, who is now rescued. And who knows where the journey goes afterwards?
