Shagreen Leather

The film follows Rafael, a man who, in his quest for happiness, discovers the mystical "Shagreen leather." This leather grants him wishes, leading him to a life of luxury and the love of Foedora. However, each wish comes at a cost, shortening the leather and threatening Rafael's life.

As an animation from the early 1960s, Shagreen Leather offers a distinct aesthetic and storytelling style that reflects the era's artistic trends. Collectors of animated films will find value in its unique narrative structure and the cultural significance of Zagreb Film's contributions to the animation genre. The film serves as a compelling example of how animation can tackle complex themes in an accessible way.
