Plots(1)

Two dwarfs – one bright blue and the other bright red – get into a fight, and each calls in a similarly colored giant to fight their battle. A satirical, allegorical story. The “heroes” are cowardly, narrow-minded dwarfs who destroy one another with the help of their protectors, the giants. The film discloses and mocks human intolerance, anger, cowardliness and irresponsibility. The film won the Golden Shell Award in San Sebastian in 1969. (Anifilm)
