Summary/Abstract: Based on the films A Knight Without An Armour and Yo- Ho-Ho, the article is an attempt at analyzing the image of the adult in Valeri Petrov's screenplays which could provisionally be called children's. The work points out the romantic substrate of the authors' concept about the adults, focusing on the thesis that while communicating with the child they express simultaneously the aspects of their social role, their individual consciousness and the extent of their individual morality.
