Plot

Well, this film starts like a comedy,but turns into really creepy and real-to life surreal mystic apotheosis of Perestroika. The story touche upon some small town boy, who while picking up mushrooms manages to meet a forest witch, who liked him and gave him some ancient supernatural presents. Those presents ruined his life a lot, but with the help of horn he can make gold coins from sounds..A lot of cemetery and forest takes are here. Some moments are really comedy, but some are pretty scary.Another classic score from father of soviet electronic music Edward Artemiev- great as usual.This film will be interesting for people who liked Volya Vselennoi.
