Synopsis

Spoiler shield

1946, a poverty-stricken village, and a hungry winter is ahead. To their misfortune, boys find a book on black magic at an abandoned royal manor. With the help of dark forces, any wish can be granted. Now the whole village is infected with a delusional idea - to make a deal with the Devil. But what price must be paid? A price that leads to a tragic and terrible denouement.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
