Story
In one old dilapidated house, which long ago requires major repairs, people live their usual lives. They have long been accustomed to the fact that the door to the staircase opens not just with a big creak, but some simply cannot get through it. Instead of correcting this inconvenience, the inhabitants of the house get into their apartments in the most unusual ways. Someone who simply jumps out of a window, someone who descends on an “elevator” built from a rope and a suitcase, who crawls along a pipe. And so every day. Residents are so accustomed to a strange existence that they hardly notice this eccentricity. But once a little boy, running down the street for his balloon, oiled the door with oil, and it began to open. It would seem, finally, now you can go through the open doors and get home, climbing the stairs. But it was not there. The habit did not depart at all from the residents of the old house.

About the cartoon
The famous “Door” (1986), which has collected many prestigious prizes at international festivals and entered the top ten cartoons of the world in 1987, became a qualitative leap.
This is a parable, like “The Tale of a Very Tall Man,” but there are many characters here, and they all revolve around the closed door of the house, reaching their homes in the most fantastic ways. And naturally, when the door finally opens, it is no longer needed. The idea is simple, and the dignity of the film is not so much in it as in the ingenuity of the development of the tape by the authors of similar situations. The director relies on an unconscious mechanism that regulates people's behavior. The images presented to us remind us that the dream is considered to be the screen of the unconscious since Freud's time.
