Hydrodynamical events resulting from interactions of supernova remnants with dense interstellar cloudlets are investigated by means of high-resolution, two dimensional modelling. Three different evolutionary paths of a cloudlet are identified, all of which eventually lead to its strong deformation and expulsion from the remnant. The main factors determining the fate of a cloudlet are the speed and geometry of transmitted and secondary ("attrition") shocks propagating through it. None of the performed calculations leads to structures which could clearly be related to filaments typical of supernova remnants.
