Director's notes
This is a free adaptation of an excerpt from F. Dostoievsky's "Crime and Punishment". My intention was not to represent exactly what is described in the book, but to try to recreate that atmosphere in animation. It was an animation without planning, just improvising on my impressions of the book.
