…The search for old fairy tales, songs and legends leads the folklorist Andrei Belaretsky to a remote corner of Belarus – the Marsh Firs estate. Here in an old castle lives a young noblewoman, Nadzeya, the last of the Yanousky family, which was cursed, according to legend, by the legendary King Stakh. Nadzeya’s distant ancestor, Raman Yanousky, lured him to a hunt and killed him treacherously. When Stakh was dying, he cursed Raman and prophesied eternal revenge of the wild hunt on the murderer’s family. Nadzeya is to become its last victim.
