Having lost his father, Sashka is left all alone - far from home and penniless. He would have been in trouble if a passing mullah hadn't picked him up! Now Sashka has to get used to life in a Bashkir village, to unfamiliar customs, to wonderful fairy tales and songs. He works for the good-natured uncle Mirgali, falls in love with the beautiful Altynai, the bookworm Zainab teaches him the local language...
And beyond the outskirts of the village, the urman forest begins. There, in the thicket, horned warriors-artaks shout gutturally to each other. There, the proud shurales rule - they say that some of the villagers have their dark forest blood. There, spirits wander, and twisted trees creep up on careless travelers, and a one-eyed demon mutters something - whispers, lulls forever... Beware, man, keep your eyes open and don't leave the path!
When a mysterious crime is committed in the village, the villagers rashly accuse Sashka. But it soon becomes clear that this is only part of a complicated story that has been going on for many years, and the connection between the village and the forest is much stronger than it seemed to both people and non-people.
