Donkey Apollo, Donkey Ares, Donkey Fina, Donkey Gibilisco, Donkey Marco il Grande and Donkey Grifo
Anatoly Vasilyev's feature length debut places the donkey as a hero throughout history, from Jesus Christ riding one into Nazareth in the Old Testament to modern day Italy's Palio Di Siena donkey racing celebrations. Vasilyev uses eight short stories, mixing documentary with divine mythology, to summarize and comment on the animal's role in Western culture.
