December 10, 2023. The 655th day of war in Ukraine. Great Silence - in the fog, the surrounding world, including people, behaves quietly. Perhaps this is something ancient: if you can’t see well, you need to listen.
One of the underrated properties of thick fog is silence. The talented artist Yuri Norshtein in the absolutely amazing cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog” (1975) showed this property of fog to the maximum. In 2003, at the International Animation Festival in Japan, 140 film critics and animators from different countries named “Hedgehog in the Fog” the best cartoon of all time.
When a thick fog envelops everything around and suddenly it becomes unusually quiet, I always remember “Hedgehog in the Fog” with the thought: - my Lord, we are all like hedgehogs on this earth.
