"One of the most audacious and original animated features yet to come out of the post-Soviet era." -- Austin Chronicle
This mind-bending example of future-forward animation is a post-Soviet cult classic, and follows a Budapest street gang that chances on the ability to time-travel. The gang hits on an ingenious plan: Zip back to the Ice Age, slaughter and bury a few mammoths, then return to reap major profits from the prehistoric oil deposits. They hit the jackpot, but the West's oil-obsessed leaders (with Osama bin Laden thrown in for good measure!) promptly descend on the gang's racket.
