Editorial
Product Description
Based on the story Christmas Eve by Russian writer Nikolai Gogol.
The whimsical combination of Christmas phantasmagoria and an eccentric fairy tale makes this film an unforgettable spectacle. The action takes place both in a village of Dikanka in the Ukraine and at the palace of a Russian Empress. Blacksmith Vacula has enraged the devil himself: in a church he painted the devils figure in such a way that even the Hells inhabitants could not help laughing. Solokha, Vaculas mother, is known to be a witch, not averse to flying on a besom. Vaculas sweetheart, Oksana, demands for a Christmas present a pair of tcherevichki (shoes) that the Empress wears. Only then she will agree to marry Vacula. And the devil promises to help the blacksmith get the Empresss shoes, on condition that Vacula sells him his soul. Meanwhile, Christmas is almost here.
