During Kupala Night, two angels intervene in the rituals of the town's inhabitants. They take care of a virgin wearing a wreath in order to spoil the devil’s plan. During the night, the devil runs a registry of sinners. However, divine providence has different plans for her. An animated Midsummer fairytale directed by Piotr Szpakowicz, a creator of films for children and adults, specializing in animation and often focuses on the theme of people and nature. The film was realized in a combined technique. Flat figures made of plasticine were put on background boards, in the style of oil painting. Some of the figures were covered with crepe paper, maintaining the depth of the shots.
