Through the lens of Ukrainian archaic folklore, the mystic-philosophical fantasy cycle poses and answers fundamental questions about Good and Evil. It allows us to understand the foundations of Ukrainian national identity, the reason for their unwavering hope for a better future and their steadfast faith in the triumph of good.
