What happens

The Story of Voyages, also translated as A Fairy Tale of Wanderings (Russian: Сказка странствий) is a 1983 Soviet Russian fantasy adventure film directed by Alexander Mitta and starring Andrei Mironov. The film is notably darker and more adult-oriented than most of Soviet fantasy movies, which were usually made for children. It was a joint co-production of Russian, Czechoslovak, and Romanian studios. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
