A story of crime and conscience, this movie takes place on at least two different levels. Animation and live action, bucolic vistas combined with space age equipment, perspectives and narrative methods are methodically interlaced. There has never been a finer scene where the plan to rob a bank is explained by using mashed potatoes and sausages. Combining different worlds and event scales has, since this movie, been a hallmark of the Kasitonni style of filmmaking. The same with making musical interludes a part of the plot.
