This film follows an unemployed man who arrives in New York City and find work as a human target in a shooting gallery. Despite the obvious danger, unemployment is so rampant, he decides to stick with the job, even after getting married. Eventually having a baby, the family finally becomes disgusted by the exploitation of the shooting range owner and leaves.
With its urban setting, jazz score and unorthodox visual-style, this Soviet film is clearly influenced by (or is perhaps parodying) the underground comix of Robert Crumb and the alternative animation of Ralph Bakshi. The aggressively anti-capitalist themes are very Soviet, but otherwise this could easily be taken for an American Indie Animation. Very 70s, very Soviet, but within the context, very well done.
