Muichkine, a young Russian prince, returns home to St. Petersburg from a mental institution, determined to spread decency and kindness in the harsh and cruel world. He becomes betrothed to an innocent young girl while trying to save a less-innocent woman from her own travail, but jealousy and his own naivete conjoin to bring about unimaginable tragedy.

A modern day adaptation of Dostoyevsky's classic novel about a young student who is forever haunted by the murder he has committed.

也许这部影片最值得关注的地方是你在别的地方根本看不到这样的动画。谁又会在石膏上画素描来做动画呢？这确实是一件很独特的作品。大部分场景的构图(layout)都很出色，但有一些不是那么好。很多背景都相当漂亮。但我得说这片缺乏故事情节。我知道这是根据《罪与罚》改编，但是片中故事似乎一直在往后拖。
陀思妥耶夫斯基(《罪与罚》作者)似乎也和苍蝇、钥匙孔、钟有点联系，你如果看过他的其他作品你就会注意到这一点。 总体来说，令人印象相当深刻。很遗憾他的作品如此难掌握。

Two souls arrive in a small town, one on vacation, the other to meet a lover. They spend the most magical dream-like days of their lives in that town... with each other.
