The Tickler
A musical tale about a boy who enters the fictional world of a school play and embarks on a heroic journey to find courage within himself.
The story begins with the appearance of a strange puppeteer (Timofey Tribuntsev) at school with a suitcase and songs. His performance disrupts the usual order and turns the school assembly hall into a fantasy space where the scenery comes to life, dwarves and a dragon appear. This miracle is watched by a strict but warm-hearted headmistress (Anna Mikhalkova) and a boy (Yelisey Chuchilin), who is bullied by his classmates and misunderstood by adults. As a random spectator, he unexpectedly finds himself inside a fairy tale and must follow the hero's journey to defeat not a monster but his own fear.
