This whole day was filled with fog. The only thing I could see out from my window were three light poles and a beaming church tower that struck the clock every now and then. This made me think of this nostalgic animated film from Russia that was made back in the 70s.
Being a short movie the plot doesn't develop to some great depths. A hedgehog and a bear each night meet and they drink tea while they count the stars. One foggy night the hedgehog gets a bit lost and meets a certain beautiful creature in the fog. He dwells deeper and deeper into the fog meeting all kinds of things unknown to him. Through his journey an owl follows him around calling him a lunatic simply because the owl does not understand the hedgehogs appreciation for beauty.
A fitting movie for this day and mood. It's very unorthodox when compared to animated films from the west at the time.
According to Wikipedia there's a statue of the hedgehog from this movie in Kiev. I would really like to see that one day.

Norshteyn is great. I'm sure you would enjoy Tale of Tales as well. But you probably know that already.
