Synopsis

Medea, Jason, Bacchus and Saturn – are they donkeys and/or mythological creatures here? Like the Italians in Alba during the donkey races, Anatoli Vasiliev worships donkeys. His film also summarises the donkey’s role in Western culture: from stupid and stubborn to a loyal beast of burden.
