Kolobok is an ancient Ukrainian fairy tale. It tells a story of a round loaf of bread. He is a runaway rolling through the forest, trying not to get eaten by those he meets. This kids story actually refers to the initiation ritual. And no surprise that bread is a main character. It has been sacred throughout the whole history of Ukraine, which is and always was a huge agricultural hub.

Since the tale is not that well known outside of Ukraine, I wanted to retell it visually in a single illustration. The plot is a typical quest. My screenwriting teacher used this fairy tale to teach us the plot structure formula. No wonder this tale survived through ages!
