Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The prince and his courtiers, dwelling in a castle near Lviv, suffer from an infestation of evil spirits who try to survive them. The last hope turns out to be the lazy grandson of the old economy. Lezhen does nothing but read books and eat dumplings. Then the prince promises to give him a daughter who can cook the hero's favorite dish as his wife if the man will kick the evil out of the castle.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
