Tarapunka and Shtepsel Under the Clouds (1953)
Post-war reconstruction. New residents turn on their first television in their new apartment—a bulky bandura with a tiny screen. On the screen are Tarapunka and Shtepsel, who promise a real revue — more precisely, a tour of Kyiv. But how can you do a tour if you can't see anything from here, Tarapunka reasonably asks. They decide to climb the radio transmission tower.
Directors: Yurii Tymoshenko, Yukhym Berezin, Yevgeni Bryunchugin.
