Rozhdestvo: (The Nativity - Russian Animation of the Christmas Story

Rozhdestvo, written and directed by Mikhail Aldashin [is a] wordless animated short from Russia. Using a naive art style washed in sepia tones and set to a soundtrack of Bach and Beethoven, it tells the story of how angels, humans, and animals came together on the first Christmas to worship the newborn Christ. [...] An emphasis on the sweet humanity of the holy couple—scared, tired, joyful, loving—makes this film especially endearing.
