The Mascot
Directed by Władysław Starewicz, Irene Starewicz
Produced by Gelma-Films
A melancholic stop-motion fable about a toy's selfless quest to help a poor child, shadowed by surreal and unsettling nocturnal perils.
A toy stuffed dog has just been sewn together when it hears a young child ask for an orange. The child's mother explains that they have no money, and so she cannot buy any oranges. The dog is then packed up along with a box full of other toys to be sold, but it soon winds up in the street. The dog picks up an orange from a curb side stand, and hopes to take it home to the child. But that night, before the dog can get back to the child's home, it must face a series of strange and frightening adventures.
