Plot synopsis
In the late 1990s, thirteen-year-old Sonya, along with her mother and younger sister Anya, was forced to move to live in the village. She doesn't like this change of scenery at all. Relations with the locals do not add up, and there is little entertainment here. Except to climb into an abandoned house, shrouded in silly legends about an evil Puppeteer who allegedly steals children and makes puppets out of them. But since the sisters looked into the house, something strange has been happening to the quiet, lonely Anya. After all, if no one is playing with children, a Puppeteer will play with them.
