Little Hare (Russian: Зайчик, romanized: Zaychik) is a 1964 Soviet comedy film directed by Leonid Bykov.

[1][2] The film tells about an honest, shy and kind man who works as a make-up artist in the theater, who suddenly gets to know he has a month left to live.

A modest theatrical make—up artist, he is shy and delicate, only his delicacy turns to timidity every now and then, and often at crucial moments of life he is unable to firmly say "yes" or "no".

We defined the genre of the film for ourselves as an eccentric comedy with a fair satirical charge.

Our main principle is that the hero is confronted with really recognizable people, with really recognizable institutions and, most importantly, with real phenomena.The song "Waves go out on the sand without a trace" (Russian: Гаснут на песке волны без следа, romanized: Gasnut na peske volny bez sleda), performed by Leonid Bykov himself,[7] was written by screenwriter Kim Ryzhov (lyrics) and composer Andrey Petrov.
