Plot synopsis
Twelve-year-old Aglaya dreams of making a film based on her own novel about the magical land of Kolhandra. During her summer vacation in the village, she gathers the neighbors' children and turns them into an amateur film crew. Together they search for locations, come up with costumes and get into character. But soon Aglaya realizes that bringing a fairy tale to life is much more difficult than simply inventing it.
