This documentary tells the story of the great Russian puppeteer Igor Fokin who entranced children and adults alike with his memorable performances in Harvard Square – where a statue stands of one of his puppets - from 1994 until his untimely death in 1996. The film includes a parallel story to Fokin’s artistic struggles based on the Russian fairy-tale,"Fenist the Bright Falcon", about a magical bird that, overcoming great odds, reaches its star. Two children provide the delightful narration.
