Paralyzed since birth, Ilya can only watch helplessly as his village is plundered by barbarians. But when a mysterious traveler arrives with a magic elixir that restores him to full health, Ilya begins an adventure to protect the village and the royal family from harm.
Bound to his village by paralysis, Ilya watches his home fall to invaders until a mystical elixir grants him the strength to fight back. This vintage Soviet epic trades modern realism for sweeping folklore and the classic triumph of a hero reborn.
