THE STORY OF THE MOVIE
The main character Ivan is used to never getting lost: it’s easy to fool
anyone, pretending to be a soldier is even easier! But one day, while
looking for luck, he finds a flint - an old tinderbox. And from there
suddenly Princess Dasha appears and asks for help. And the hero will
have to fight not only for the princess, but also for truth, hope and
love. Dangerous adventures, battles, ambushes and an insidious enemy
await Vanya and his horse named Whereto. And he accepts the fight!
