I Shall Give You a Star

Soviet animated short by Fyodor Khitruk about gender issues. First released c. 1974. The story is told in four vignettes through different times, all showing the same story: a man meeting a woman, them getting in love and woman practically becoming a kitchen slave doing chores while man keeps making verses for her.

Can be viewed online with subtitles on Youtube.

This short provides examples of:

 * Arabian Nights Days: second segment
 * Author On Board: like many other Khitruk's shorts for adults (see also: Film Film Film or Icarus and Wisemen) this one is a unflinching social satire, specifically of modern relationships
 * Nubile Savage
 * Stay in The Kitchen: woman's eventual fate in all vignettes
