Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ostrov ("Island") is a 1973 animated short film (ten minutes) from the Soviet Union, directed by Fyodor Khitruk.A man sits on a lonely desert island—an absurdly tiny island, so small that there's barely room for him to sit. (Let's not think about the lack of fresh water.) At first, the ships that pass by simply fail to notice his frantic waves. Eventually, however, they do notice him, and he receives a parade of visitors: anthropologists, tourists, colonizers, missionaries, and more. All of them notice him, many of them exploit him or his island, but none of them bother to help him.

Allegory: The cartoon is an obvious allegory for alienation from society. Speedboats whiz by, a "supermarket" boat stops and tries to sell the man stuff, tourists visit and pose for pictures, an oil company wrecks the island, but no one will help the man except for another castaway, someone whose circumstances are just as dire as his.

Comedic Sociopathy: The complete indifference of everyone to the man and his welfare. A priest in a floating cathedral shows up, prays over the man, and leaves. Anthropologists come, study the man, and leave. Tourists visit, and a buxom bikini-clad woman sits on the man's lap for a picture...and they leave.

The Aloner: He's the aloner at the start of the cartoon at least. And given how everyone ignores him, he basically stays that way.

Evil Colonialist: In one scene a gigantic warship bristling with guns pulls up to the little island. A party lands on shore, they sing the national anthem and plant their flag, and leave, leaving the man alone again.
