Little Lily is on the phone, tremblingly listening to a fairy tale. The story is so full of twists and turns that she imperceptibly becomes its hero. Suddenly, the fairy tale comes to life and Lily dives into the ocean depths. While searching for a priceless pearl with magical power, she encounters all kinds of fish and crabs.
Some of them want to be friends with Lily, while others just want to gobble her up. The deeper Lily dives, the more dangerous it becomes. The phone booth suddenly turns into a submarine… and this is just one of the charming fantasies in the animated adaptation of Valeri Petrov’s fairy tale, so loved by generations of children and their parents. Pop! is an ingenious combination of animation and feature film, a real joy for the eyes.
