Surogat

Surogat (known in English as Ersatz and The Substitute) is a 1961 Yugoslavian animated comedy short film by director Dušan Vukotić, produced by Zagreb Film, then a Yugoslav film production company. The film is also known by several other names in other languages: Cyррогат, Der Ersatz, Le Succēdanē and Surrogatto.

==Plot== The film begins with a man taking a trip to the beach. He touches the water with his foot, checking its temperature; finding the temperature is good, he bring objects to the beach, but finds that every object (as well every character, himself, and the environment) is inflatable. He blows up one object with an air pump; he continues blowing up objects, and later, he goes to his car, finding his shorts, which look the car's "plug." He removes this "plug", and the car proceeds to deflate. The man throws the now-compressed car at a tree. Later, he changes into what he was wearing before and continues pumping up objects, one being a fishing rod. He blows up a fish, kicking it into the sea, but immediately, the fish leaves the water and ends up in a frying pan, where it is cooked. The man eats the fish as his lunch.
