This way!
That’s enough. Stop.
We can’t anymore, she’s your wife now.
Oh come on. Don’t tell me this doesn’t turn you on.
What if she finds out?
Come on.
What?
Hey, where are you?
Follow me.
Wait, stop--
Cheater.
Filthy soul.
Come to me.
Traitor.
I am here.
Come to me.
Dirty, dirty soul.
Traitor.
Dear students!
This is the last outpost of civilization on our way.
My God, it’s grown so much...
since the last time I was here.
Anyway, you can buy anything you forgot here,
even order a lavender cappuccino,
because next week all you’ll have...
is coffee brewed over a fire.
Welcome!
Nice. The vibe’s just right.
I’ll be back in a week.
This one’s yours.
Gentlemen, please,
take a look, feel at home...
Oh girls, this is such a marvel.
Mermaids' scales, one of a kind.
These shells were lying at the bottom of a dark lake.
Have you already ordered?
They have power.
They repel the charms of mavkas, mermaids, all that stuff.
A super-powerful talisman.
I wear one myself, see? Protection.
And mavkas attack women too?
Well of course. They’re evil.
They don’t care who they lure into the lake.
Alright, talisman is 500, scale is 1000.
Boys, I’m Madam Tesya. What can I get you?
Could I get some of that tincture, please?
Sure, why not?
No, no, no, pour it into this coffee cup.
Conspiracy types.
Want some too?
Cappuccino.
Cappuccino means cappuccino. Good choice!
So girls, have you decided?
- I’ll take it. - Just the talisman?
No scale?
- Arrivederci. - It’s a good thing, exclusive.
Alright then, enjoy your retreat.
May all your chakras open...
And you boys, who are you? Tourists? Amber diggers?
We’re biologists.
We study changes in animal habitats.
Wow...
Listen, you really shouldn’t go to those habitats.
Stay here at my place.
I told the retreat girls,
and I’ll tell you, the forest is dangerous right now.
What kind of danger? Can I get more coffee?
Coffee, yes. Danger, it’s Mermaid Week.
That’s when they roam around, mermaids, mavkas, dragging people into the lake.
Drowning them.
- That’s local folklore. - No, no, don’t say that.
Two people disappeared two days ago, a groom and his best man.
- Disappeared how? - Like this, they went into the forest.
And this morning I stepped onto the porch and heard it.
Mavka's laughter! So better buy a talisman.
I don’t like this.
Toma, don’t be scared. If anything--
Hey, girl, need protection?
I’m armed and dangerous.
Sir, you’ve had too much to drink.
Please go rest and don’t interfere.
Hey, man! Yeah, go on, and zip your gun.
We’ll handle it ourselves.
Did you just tell me where to go, you punk?
Yeah. You.
What did you say? What did you croak?
Hey! Hey!
Call the police!
Mykola!
Where are you going?
The stand is new! Mykola!
Hands off!
Thank God!
What’s going on here?
This man had too much to drink and started harassing people.
Gentlemen, gentlemen!
- We don’t want any trouble. - You okay?
My brother got carried away and caused a bit of trouble,
but he apologizes, right?
And we’ll be on our way.
Where are you headed?
Hunting. Ducks.
We have a permit, here.
Ducks, you say?
Ducks.
Remember, you’re in the forest.
Thank you. Of course.
And no more drinking.
Thanks for the advice. Have a nice day.
And what about you gentlemen?
I’m a University professor, biology.
These are my students, we’re on a research expedition.
Would you like to see our documents?
No, that won’t be necessary.
Just be careful.
A couple of people went missing here.
See? I told you. I told you everything.
All the best.
Thank you, thank you.
- Does it hurt? - I’m fine.
Everything will be alright.
Yeah. It will.
Well, here it is, the last outpost of civilization.
Dear young scientists, we’ve arrived.
So, grab the tents, unpack here.
Boys, move the cars.
We’ll set up the campfire there.
Lukian, Syoma...
go to the flooded village and set up the cameras.
Why are we standing around? Move it!
I can already feel it, this expedition
will be unforgettable!
Awesome.
Just tie your hair back.
Don’t tell me what to do...
Damn forest, I hate it.
Then why did you come?
Obviously so you’d ask. See? Worth it already.
Oles, let me take a look.
What’s there to see? Just a scratch...
If it weren’t for the cops, I’d have...
Why did you even get involved?
What do you mean? He was hitting on you.
Thanks.
You’re welcome.
What do we have here?
A fighter... alive?
Mm, yeah.
And I’m looking for my coffee.
That’s my coffee, Borys Oleksandrovych. A bug just drowned in it.
I’ll... uh... I’ll make you a new one.
Doesn’t it seem to you that this Oles is a bit...
I heard he’s studying here just to explore
the breeding process of certain fiber plants.
You mean cannabis?
That’s not funny.
Jerk.
Good night.
Lukian, are you awake?
I’m asleep.
Oh! Then I’ll tell you later that there’s no connection with the cameras.
Syoma, stop!
What do you mean, no connection?
Damn it... I’m coming.
Shit!
It’s smashed...
This one’s done too...
Maybe some idiot stepped on them?
Look what I’ve got.
This one seems intact... Syoma, check it out.
Is this a person or what?
Maybe it’s those guys from the bar, fucking things up for us.
Whoa, Ira!
Sorry, messing things up.
So... what now, no cameras?
We need new ones. I’ll check if there are any left where I ordered them.
Do it.
Listen, I can go.
If I push it a bit we’ll have cameras by evening.
Professor?
Should we go for it?
Without them, our mission makes no sense.
Go.
Khrystyna?
You’re going to the city?
Yeah. Need anything? Text me.
No... I need to go there too.
I’m going there and back.
Khrystyna, seriously, we already settled everything.
Live your life and let me live mine.
Asshole!
Are you kidding me right now?!
Damn it!
Shit!
Hey, hey, hey!
Come on!
You’re alive? Thank God!
What hurts?
Your neck?
Your leg...
Okay, hold on.
Hey! Anyone alive?
Yes, we’re here.
No, no, no. Leave it.
You’re in shock.
It’s okay, it’s okay...
We heard a noise, what was that? Who is this?
Later. We’re going back to camp.
Our professor knows medicine, he’ll help.
Hurry, hurry!
The car’s done for.
Careful, careful, yes, yes...
Bring the first-aid kit. Faster!
Why are you standing there, can’t you see she’s cold? Bring a blanket!
Okay, okay. I’ll call Professor now, alright?
Guys, where’s the first-aid kit? Hurry!
Someone get me a blanket!
- Professor! Professor! - What is it?
- What happened? - Get up!
This is her.
- Hello there. - Her foot is broken.
Easy. May I take a look?
Does it hurt?
A little.
Here’s the first-aid kit.
What's that?
Lucky, no fracture.
- Seriously? - At worst, a bruise.
But I’d get an X-ray, if I were you.
And where are your shoes?
Probably left them in the forest.
Khrystyna, didn’t you have a spare pair?
Why me?
Because you have it...
So, what’s your name?
Maybe she’s still in shock?
I’m Lukian, this is Tamara.
- And this is Mr. Borys. - Nice to meet you.
And you?
Khrystyna, are you bringing those boots or not?
- I’m coming! - Khrystyna.
Nice to meet you, Khrystyna.
Where are you from, anyway?
You must be one of the girls who came for the retreat...
Yes. For the retreat.
Here.
I’m sorry this happened.
An animal ran straight onto the road, and I didn’t know what to do.
It’s okay.
The important thing is that you’re alive.
Alive...
Let’s take you to the hospital.
No, don’t.
My sisters are waiting for me.
I’ll walk you there. It’s easy to get lost in the forest at night.
I know this forest. Don’t!
- Syoma! - What?
A flashlight!
Here.
She’s kinda not all there.
Well, if a car hit you, you’d probably shit yourself too.
Jesus, Iryna!
Sorry, I got scared.
What the hell is this?
Now it’ll be fine...
Khrystyna?
Khrystyna!
And I was happy like a drifter I love daydreaming on coffee breaks
Not noticing my coworkers are goats
The mail server says We’ve got another corporate party
I’m sick of these fu--
funny guys!
Oles, that song is boring.
Especially for our Professor.
Oh, Lukian?
So, you walked the girl back?
No. She ran off.
Well of course she ran off, you almost killed her. I would’ve run too.
And is she gonna bring my boots back?
Main thing is she doesn’t come back tomorrow with a police report.
Alright, that’s enough...
Did you at least bring the cameras?
Sister... did you find a human?
A filthy soul?
Yes. I found a man who reeks of women’s tears.
But he hurt me, and something happened to my voice.
Thank you, sisters!
We need more filthy human souls, mavka.
We need their life energy.
Hurry, the short night will be over soon.
Sister!
Why are you doing this?
To hunt a filthy soul.
- I’m coming with you! - No.
This one is my prey.
Good thing it's insured.
Alright. The insurance documents will be sent to you via email.
And young man, please be more careful.
You’re in the forest, not back home in your big city.
Thank you. I’ll remember that.
Hi, Lukian.
Khrystyna?
Didn’t expect me?
No... You ran off so fast.
I had to.
But now I’m here.
- Will you come with me? - Where?
I mean, I’m not against it...
I just need to bring my stuff to camp.
You’ll do that later...
Right now, it’s better for you to follow me.
Lukian...
Filthy soul...
Lukian...
follow me...
come on...
That tattoo of yours...
It looks like it changes color.
Why do you need that?
You don’t care...
Just follow me.
Follow you.
You’ll pay for the women’s tears you spilled, filthy soul.
Hurry!
Okay.
Hey! Back off, that’s mine!
You idiot, that’s a red listed lynx.
There are barely any left.
See? Still some left, and this one’s mine.
You morons, this is a crime.
Weren’t you supposed to be hunting ducks?
Watch your mouth, nerd!
You see this tough-ass gamer?
And what are you gonna do now?
Shoot me?
I’ll shoot you too, no problem. Try showing off again.
Hey, stop!
It’s our prey.
So, if you’re a smart boy, calm down and keep walking.
Look, your little girlfriend’s been waiting for you.
Bitch, I’ll--
- Yurchyk, shut your mouth. - Kyrya, I--
Quiet!
Grab the lynx, we’re leaving. Now!
Hey, drop it.
Yurchyk, get over here.
You want trouble?
Are you okay?
Sorry about that.
Let’s get out of here.
Why did you fight those men?
You saw it, they killed an animal that was supposed to be protected.
So what?
Everything in nature is connected.
Wiping out one species can... can affect others.
You see, the forest is its own universe, with its own laws and mysteries.
It’s just a forest. What mysteries?
That’s your urbanism talking.
Come with me...
Give me your hand.
Careful. We’re almost there.
Here.
Look.
A tree?
At first glance.
But look closer.
See it?
What does it look like?
Like a tiny forest.
Yeah. Like a forest inside a forest.
Look. Boo!
Easy, it only looks scary.
In reality it feeds on tree sap...
Not everything is what it seems at first glance...
Give me your hand!
It has wings, can it fly?
Let’s find out.
And over there, ferns.
Like your tattoo.
Hey!
Did I say something wrong?
There was that girl at camp...
Khrystyna too, I think.
Oh, Khrystyna. What about her?
I noticed how she looks at you.
Khrystyna and I used to be together.
But... that’s in the past.
Why? She’s pretty.
Yeah, she’s pretty. But she loves herself more than anything.
But you hurt her.
She cried.
Sometimes you can’t avoid that.
Pain has to be lived through...
Staying together without love would probably be worse.
Probably.
Your eyes--
Just now they were...
You’re not lying.
Sounds like you’re disappointed.
Sorry, I have to answer.
Hello, yes...
No, no, no, video... The camera footage is stored in a special folder...
Alright, okay, I’ll handle it from here. Bye...
Listen, sorry, I...
What the hell is this?
Oh wow...
Lukian!
Dear Mr. Lukian, we were all worried.
Care to explain what kept you in the forest so long?
Squirrels, butterflies, or some forest...
forest spirits?
Sorry, I... I had things to do.
Ah, “things.” I’m thrilled you found “things” in the forest
more important than our scientific expedition,
the one we came here for, by the way.
Professor, I’ll do everything.
Do try, young man. And don’t take forever...
Sorry...
Toma, where are the guys?
Hi! Lukian, BO was looking for you.
Thanks, Khrystyna, he already found me.
Khrystyna, maybe you’d let him go already?
My grandma used to say, let the bygones be bygones.
No man dumps me. Never. Got it?
I’ll get him back, and then I’ll dump him myself.
That’s kind of cruel.
Life is cruel, Toma.
Some people get loving grandmas, daddies, all that...
and some get thrown away as kids like trash,
and you just survive however you can.
But that’s not happening to me ever again.
And how are you gonna get him back?
Put a spell on him?
This isn't Konotop, the witches are far away.
I am my own witch.
Sex appeal solves everything.
But you wouldn’t understand that.
Idiot.
Sisters, what do you think...
is all of this beautiful?
What?
The lake, the forest, the flowers, everything around us.
A forest is a forest.
And you don’t feel anything at all when you look at it?
What are we supposed to feel?
I only feel filthy human souls.
And when they drown in the lake, that’s beautiful.
I imagine they are the same people
who drove me to drown myself and become a mavka.
Do you remember why you did it?
And who you were when you were alive?
I only remember that life was horrible.
And that’s enough for me to crave revenge.
That’s our destiny.
And that’s what the mermaids command.
Sister, are you okay?
You’re acting weird.
I’m fine. Yes, of course, it’s our destiny.
Besides, the short night is almost here.
She’s the only one who hasn’t hunted a filthy soul yet.
She’s hiding something.
We need to figure out what.
What’s wrong with you?
No, I’m fine.
I’ll go for a walk.
- Dude! - I won’t go far.
Khrystyna?
You guessed.
Yeah.
What do you want?
I just want a drink...
Here...
Lukian, I’m not contagious or something.
You won’t die if you drink with me.
Help me out?
To the good old days.
What a wonderful evening, so quiet.
Yeah, quiet.
If you ignore all that screaming.
Lukian, I understand it’s over between us.
Honestly. I’m not as insane as you think.
I never said that.
But I’m lonely...
I’m a person too.
I can’t love someone today and then tomorrow, boom, not anymore.
I’m sorry, but--
Lukian, I need you.
Just one last time, seriously, only tonight, please.
One last time, be mine.
No. No. No, Khrystyna, stop. It’ll only make it harder. Don’t.
"Don't"? So I’m not needed?
I know, it’s because of that messed-up girl, right?
Khrystyna, stop.
You traded me in for some crazy retreat girl.
- Idiot! - I’m not listening to this anymore.
Then fuck off, you nerdy little freak! You should be crawling at my feet, got it?
People don’t dump me, remember that! You’ll pay for this.
You’ll remember me for your whole damn life.
You’ll regret it, you piece of shit!
And now, girls, imagine the light inside you.
Right here in your chest. Feel how soft and pleasant it is?
Follow how the air enters your lungs
as you inhale and goes lower,
straight into your kundalini...
I hear something.
Yes.
That’s the energy flow filling you.
No, it’s something else.
Someone’s growling.
Growling? Is that a wolf?
- A wolf. - A wolf?
Stupid chicks.
Come on! What wolf? It’s...
it’s... Winnie-the-Pooh!
Got that on video, let's move!
Yeah, yeah. Just a second, I’ll grab myself some kind of trophy.
Damn, chicks, why do you even need so many panties in the forest, huh?
Nice.
What the hell is this? Andrii!
Andrii!
Filthy souls...
Filthy...
Who’s there?
Those who take animals’ lives for fun...
Filthy...
Follow me.
There will be plenty of fun with me.
Fun...
Dude, what’s wrong?
Can’t sleep, that’s all.
What, stress or something?
If it’s stress, I’ve got anti-stress.
A little trick!
No!
Why? Everyone’s asleep. What’s bothering you?
Khrystyna.
What damn Khrystyna?
Not that Khrystyna.
Oh. The one you almost killed?
We talked and then she disappeared.
Again.
I just don’t understand what happened.
Well, she’s a retreat girl.
She came here to cleanse herself of worldly stuff,
not to hook up with a guy who almost ran her over.
- You’re great at supporting people. - Sorry, I’m like that...
Hey, where are you going?
Won’t BO notice?
- You’ll cover for me. - No, no, no. Dude!
Lukian, hey-- Luk-- Lukian,
that’s a setup!
Asshole!
Damn.
Filthy soul...
Sister, that boy is in trouble.
Our sisters have already hunted him.
Filthy soul...
Come with us...
Sisters, stop!
I lured him. He’s my prey!
Then he will be ours.
I said he’s mine!
Alright, don’t get angry.
Sisters, shall we go?
Let’s go.
There are plenty of filthy souls in the forest.
She’s weird.
Lukian, Lukian, snap out of it!
Khrystyna! How did you end up he--
Not now. Not now, I’ll explain later.
Take this and hide.
Whatever you see, don’t move and don’t let go of it.
Run! Now!
Sister, have you forgotten what you were supposed to do?
No, sisters. I remember.
Then tell us!
Before the ritual of the Short Night,
I must fill the waters of the Dark Lake with filthy souls and their life energy.
Then why is that man still not at the bottom of the lake?
Speak!
Because he... Because he is not a filthy soul!
Enough!
You know how treacherous humans can be.
You ended your own life
because men like him
made it worse than death.
Yes. That’s the only thing I remember from my human life.
Then do what you must,
unless you want us to cast you into oblivion.
I’ll do everything.
Lukian!
Don’t come closer!
Don’t come near me, you hear? Whatever you are!
Lukian, please, calm down. I just want to explain.
Explain what? That you want to kill me?
- Thanks, I already heard that part. - No. Lukian, if you listen to me,
I’ll tell you the whole truth.
If you decide to leave,
I won’t stop you.
Alright.
Okay, Khrystyna, or whatever your real name is.
You wanted to explain. I’m listening.
Yes. Khrystyna is not my name.
Those like me don’t remember our names.
I’m a forest mavka.
A mavka?
Like a soul of the forest? Like in the animated movie?
Where’s your green hair then?
Why aren’t you protecting the forest?
What forest, Lukian? What hair? I’m dead.
I drowned myself. My purpose is revenge.
I must drown filthy souls in the Dark Lake.
I didn’t care about anything else until...
Until?
Until I met you.
It’s dangerous here. Come with me.
I don’t want to hurt you.
Here, it’s safe.
Mermaids are born of the Dark Lake, so they can’t go far from it.
But mavkas can, because we were once human.
Careful...
So you actually live in that lake?
Yes. On its bottom. But once every four years,
during Mermaid Week, we come out of the water into your world.
We must fill the lake with the life energy of filthy souls
so the Mermaids can feed on it until the next Mermaid Week.
Lukian, you need to know,
all of this is only preparation for the ritual of the Short Night.
The solstice... That’s tomorrow.
Yes! If you want to survive,
you and your friends must leave this place as soon as possible.
Otherwise during the Short Night something terrible will happen to you.
Then why are you warning me?
I don’t know.
You touched something inside me,
something I never noticed before.
And this feeling, I like it so much.
But still, please, you must leave before the next night.
Are you laughing at me?
Yes. You're funny.
Oh really?
What are you doing?
Something human.
I’m telling you, you’re in danger.
And I’m telling you, I’m willing to take that risk.
For what?
For this.
Wait...
Wait... I thought I--
No. No, I can’t.
I know it will hurt me.
I’ve been through this already, and I don’t want it again.
Hey.
Life is like that. Bad things really do happen.
But there’s also joy, happiness...
love.
And there’s so much more of that.
I don’t remember happiness...
I tried to remember my life, but it’s all blank, Lukian.
There’s an old, flooded village not far from here...
Maybe you lived there.
When I forget something,
I return to places that can remind me of what I lost.
No. No, no, I can’t.
But you can try. You have a choice.
The Mermaids don’t give us a choice!
I’m dead!
I’m telling you, run away, or you’ll die too!
Mavka!
Back again without a filthy soul?
Then at least finish this one!
Do it!
Guys!
Damn...
Damn.
Boo!
You sneaking up on us or what?
Thank God, Oles! Where is everyone?
On assignments. So is BO.
Tamara and I decided to get a little privacy here in the woods.
Oles, are you listening to me?
I am, I am.
It’s not safe!
Safety is our everything.
I’m off before Tamara changes her mind.
Oles, I’m serious.
I’ll gather everyone and we’re leaving today.
Are you kidding? You partied all night, had fun, now it’s my turn, dude.
Listen. The Khrystyna I hit, she’s not just a girl.
She’s a guy?
She is a handsome guy. No judgment, man, totally fine.
Oles. Short version, she’s a mavka.
A real one.
There are lots of them here. And they’re all hostile.
Right...
Now I know who stole my last joint yesterday. Unbelievable.
- Oles! - Are you messing with me?
I don’t care who they are, witches, zombies, even Dracula himself.
I’m not missing my chance with Tamara.
Fine. Fine. Take this,
if anything suspicious happens, squeeze it like this.
- Did you buy this crap at the hotel? - Oles!
Wow. You’re really boring the morning after.
Really boring.
Ruta!
My dear mother, the time has come
I’m young and joyful still
I want to live, I love...
Sister...
what are you doing?
Wreaths.
I remembered that when I was alive, I used to make these for holidays.
You remembered?
Yes. It’s some kind of miracle.
- How do you like it? - It’s pretty, I guess.
I wish I could remember too...
But we’re not supposed to do that.
Supposed to, not supposed to...
Look.
- See how huge it is? - And ugly.
Something like that definitely shouldn’t be able to fly, but...
Out!
I remembered everything.
My life wasn’t just one endless misery.
It was different.
That’s probably why you decided to drown yourself.
You pushed me to it. Just like all of us.
We protect all of you.
For example, this mavka.
The youngest of you.
She drowned herself because her parents gave her away as a child
in an arranged marriage with an old man. He raped her and beat her.
We can return her memory right now,
and she will remember how “different” her life was.
She’ll remember, and she’ll want to die all over again...
And it’s the same with every one of you.
But you speak like a human.
Who put these thoughts into your head?
A man, a filthy soul, infected you. You must not--
I must not...
Mavkas don’t need to feed on human energy, only you do!
I’m not going to kill people for you anymore.
Something unheard of happened, a dead Mavka fell in love with the living.
Well, well, well...
Punish her?
No. We’ll warn her.
This man's soul is as filthy as all the others.
He will inevitably hurt you so badly
that you won’t have the strength to endure it.
And you will beg us for Oblivion,
where you will dissolve forever...
And there will be no you. Not even dead.
No! Lukian is not a filthy soul.
And I’m not just a mavka.
My name is Ruta.
Oh, Ruta...
Ruta, Ruta...
You’re confused by the interference of a mortal,
but we are your sisters, we understand.
In the end, whether to trust a man is your choice.
We’ll see where that trust leads you...
Did we account for everything?
A few things remain.
We’ll show her what humans are capable of.
Professor, we have to leave before night.
- Come back to the camp. - Why would we?
Because...
Because there are escaped convicts in the forest!
What? Convicts? What convicts? Lukian! Explain, Lukian--
Is that you?
I thought I’d never see you again...
I understood something.
What?
That I’m in love.
Yurko, where are you?
Yurko, stop hiding!
This is not funny anymore...
- Come on! - No, he’s not there.
You’re searching like crap, search better...
Come on, come on!
Bro, where are you, where--
- Gone... - What the f--
He’s gone...
- Who the hell are you? - Gone...
Hey, who are you?
I’ll help...
help...
A hunter needs prey...
prey...
So listen and do what you’re supposed to.
I’ll kill her.
Khrystyna?
Lukian, you said--
That’s your ex.
Send her away.
Let her get lost.
This is crossing every possible line...
There can’t be anything between us.
I don’t love you.
Is that Dad?
It’s that girl.
Well hello, Mavka...
Care to tell me what you did to my brother?
Talk.
Talk!
- Oh damn... - No, no, no...
Is she really a mavka?
Yo...
What kind of monster are you?
- Leave me alone. - Lie down, I said!
Now you’re my prey.
I’ll put you in a cage and show you in a circus.
I said, leave me alone!
Or what?
You’ll tickle me to death?
Tickle you?
Oh, I’ll tickle you right now.
What if she notices us?
What is even happening here?
Lukian said something like that...
We’re out, we’re out...
Out, out, out...
Lukian!
Lukian, Khrystyna, what the hell is going on here?
Kick out this idiot!
Get the hell out of here!
Are you insane? Lukian!
Lukian! Lukian!
Oles?
What are you waiting for? Finish this moron!
Khrystyna?
Get up, Oles, are you okay?
What are you doing here? Where is the Mavka?
Lukian, it’s okay. It’s me!
Don’t touch me!...
Where did you get that?
It’s all because of you!
And you know, that weird girlfriend of yours is dead?
She’s a mavka?
Just like I am now.
There will be no pain,
only revenge,
revenge,
revenge...
Your death will be on his conscience,
and he will suffer until the end of his life,
a pathetic life,
an unhappy life.
And you will be forever young,
forever beautiful,
always the best.
We will leave you your memory.
I’m the best. And if you don’t want me, then you won’t be with anyone.
Lukian!
What is this? What happened here?
What convicts? Is this dangerous?
Mermaids...
sisters...
It’s all exactly like you said.
It’s a pity you had to live through it again.
He made me remember everything.
So what will you do now, mavka with the name Ruta?
The pain of betrayal destroyed my past life...
and now it found me here too.
The only thing I want is to feel nothing, and not exist at all, ever again.
- You’ll handle it? - Yes.
Boys, I still can’t see Khrystyna. We can’t leave without her.
Professor, I know where she is.
I’ll get her and come straight back to you.
- Sure? - Sure.
- Alright, Dad, let’s go! - And Khrystyna?
Well, Professor, he said he’ll find her, so he will.
We’ve got to get Toma and Iryna--
- Get in... - Fine.
We will fulfill your wish.
In Oblivion, you will dissolve forever.
But tonight is the Short Night, begin the ritual
as your final and greatest revenge on all the living!
Professor, I’m telling you, we have to go. It’s not safe here.
Oh, come on, Oles. Nothing threatens us here...
So what’s the news about those convicts?
What convicts?
Damn...
You want me to believe this nonsense?
Come on, I’m telling you, I saw them myself!
Do you realize you’ve ruined the most important expedition of my life?
Fine, that one’s got nothing but weed in his head,
but you, sweetheart, what were you thinking?
Dad, it’s true. I saw it too.
Wait, are you serious?
But you said it yourself,
mavkas and all that, protection charms, Mermaid Week--
Easy there, gentlemen. It’s marketing trick, what’s the problem?
Just fairy tales to get the clients to come visit.
- What fairy tales? - Folklore!
- Do you hear that? - Why are you shushing?
What the hell is that?
Some singing.
My cat screamed like that when it wanted to f--
Mavka!
What did you do to her?
Do you hear me?
What did you do?
We fulfilled her wish...
That Mavka learned who she was in life,
and even remembered her name, Ruta.
Ruta?
But someone hurt her so badly again
that she didn’t have the strength to endure the pain...
Maybe you know what monster did that to her?
So it was you who did all this.
Because of you, she will melt into Oblivion forever...
And this is for you, as a keepsake of her.
No, no, no, tell me how to bring her back!
We cannot bring her back.
But we can send you into Oblivion too.
What do I have to do?
Go!
And we didn’t mention that Oblivion for him is deadly.
Ruta!
Ruta...
What the hell...
Ruta...
I came here...
for you.
Ruta...
Lukian!
I didn’t betray you...
It was the Mermaids, they set it up...
I came to tell you that...
that I...
you...
Everything is ready. We have enough life energy.
Ruta...
Sisters, look!
Keep going, keep going!
Why did you stop?
She’s alive, sisters.
- She’s alive. - Alive...
She’s alive...
Ruta!
Sisters, listen!
The Mermaids took our memories away.
They made us believe life is only pain.
And that only revenge can bring relief, but that’s not true. I know it.
I remembered everything.
So the Mermaids have been lying to us the whole time?
- Why? - Why all this?
Why are we killing people?
- What for? - Why do it?
And I would like to remember my name...
- And I would like to... - And I...
And what about me?
I don’t belong to you anymore.
No, this energy belongs to us!
Don’t touch them!
Mermaid Week is over, and the ritual wasn’t completed.
It’s time for you to return to the lake.
Now you will learn what suffering is.
Sisters, I will save you.
I will find out, do you hear me? I will find out how to bring you back.
I’ll think of something...
I know. We’ll meet again.
In four years.
We won’t let this go.
No, no, no, no!
I don’t want this! This isn’t what we agreed on!
Help me!
Ruta...
- What happened? - Lukian...
you did something impossible.
Ruta!
Ruta, I--
I know...
Me too.
- I’m sorry, I-- - No, it’s okay.
I just need to get used to being alive again.
Lukian!
Explain to me what is going on here!
And how are we supposed to explain all of this now?
I don’t know.
Lukian!
But I can try something...
I demand, can someone explain what the hell is happening here?
Forget everything...
that happened here...
Well of course, you can date.
I’m not some kind of tyrant...
Colleagues, saddle up!
Dull city life is waiting for us...
Looks like being out in nature did Professor some good.
And you too, Lukian!
Find your beloved Ruta...
Bring her back.
