Synopsis
Anatoly Vasiliev, a celebrated Russian theatre director, reflects on the cultural significance of the donkey in "Asino." The film traces the animal's historical presence in Greek mythology, including its association with Jesus, who rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Vasiliev connects this imagery to literary figures like Sancho Panza's donkey in "Don Quixote" and Eeyore from "Winnie the Pooh." Through these narratives, the documentary addresses themes of stupidity, stubbornness, and humility across various cultures.
