Little T - these are big movies for small audiences. Saturday after lunch.
Deep forests have hidden countless secrets and inscrutable mysteries since time immemorial. They are home to wondrous mythical creatures who live among the ancient trees and faithfully guard their sacred forest realm. And it is the fairy Mavka who is the newly elected guardian and soul of the forest. Her main mission is to protect the sacred Heart of the Forest, the source of life itself, against all evil and the world of men. But many of the forest's inhabitants doubt whether the kind and gentle fairy Mavka can handle her new duties. In a village not far from the forest lives Lucas, a village boy who loves music above all else, especially playing the flute. He dreams of dedicating his whole life to this passion. And it is his music that triggers something truly remarkable; Mavka hears his enchanting song and her heart is filled with a previously unknown emotion.
But the love between man and woodland fairy faces many difficulties from the beginning. In addition, more and more obstacles come their way, and the heartless and greedy Kylina arrives in the village, claiming to be the heiress of an old sawmill on the edge of the forest, and promising all the people that with their support she will wrest all the wealth from the land and bring to everyone (and especially to herself) the industrial progress she has learned abroad. But all this serves only as a ruse to hide her real goal. That is, the possession of the Heart of the Forest, by means of which she would gain eternal youth and beauty. The key to this is the fairy Mavka, who is very vulnerable at the moment because of her love for Lukas. Can Mavka save the forest from the cunning Kyla? Can music work miracles? Will the magical world of the forest and the world of humans finally be able to merge?
