Mavka – a soul of the Forest – faces an impossible choice between love and her duty as guardian to the Heart of the Forest, when she falls in love with a human – the talented young musician Lukash. Our story is about the magical power of love. That kind of love that enables human nature to find the magic within and reveals abilities and qualities that empower a person to reach beyond possible and to hold against evil and human vice.

NARRATOR: From time immemorial, the ancient Ukrainian forest has harboured amazing secrets and mysteries.
Behind the Dark Mountain, in the forest’s heart, the Source of Life is hidden.
It provides the forest and its dwellers with their power, their spark.
But one winter, while the forest was fast asleep, with the guardian alone watching over it, a human broke into the forest through the passage in the Dark Mountain.
It was the owner of the sawmill.
He needed at least one drop from the Source of Life to save his dying newborn daughter.
But then he returned and brought an army with him, hoping to take over the entire Source for himself.
And so a terrible battle began that left no winners.
Only losers.
All humans who had trespassed behind the Dark Mountain vanished.
The Forest Guardian lost all but an echo of his ancient strength.
And when the forest creatures woke in the spring, they were greeted by the horrific consequences of the humans’ treachery.
Look at what our enemies have done.
For this reason, no human shall set foot behind the Dark Mountain ever again!
This is the new forest law.

Greetings,
after so long, my dear fellow villagers.
It is I, Kylina,
the daughter and only heiress of the late sawmill owner.
The one that got burned up by forest demons?
Yes, my father died tragically in a forest wildfire, but it had nothing to do with your quaint superstitions.
After dear Daddy’s death, my mother and I left this place, but soon I became an orphan.
[VILLAGERS SIGH]
Oh, poor thing. What a shame.
How positively tragic!
[VILLAGERS SIGH]
But now I am back to make our village prosperous again.
I’m offering you all a job.
You’ll have so much money that you’ll never have to work again.
Not working is my dream job.
I’ll rebuild the sawmill.
We’ll start selling our timber all around the world.
Aren’t you all good and ready to become rich and happy?
Yeah!
Absolutely.
Yes!
What do you want us to do?
All you have to do is pop over the Dark Mountain…
[VILLAGERS GASP AND MUTTER]

I’d rather take a nap.
The guardian?!

Mavka, did you wake everybody up?

She’s probably frolicking through the crocuses with Swampy again.
[FOREST-DWELLERS CHUCKLE]
I’m sorry I’m late, Guardian.
I was helping the lynx cub get out of an old trap.
How terrible!
An old trap.
I thought they were all removed after the battle?
Nymphs.
You are the forest’s armed forces.
Which one of you missed this?
Good job, Mavka.
You’ve embarrassed us in front of the guardian.
[WONDROUS, ETHEREAL MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
Now, then, listen, forest-dwellers.
The Supreme Spirits of Nature whisper that dangerous times approach.
Therefore, at midnight tonight, in the heart of the forest, the spirits shall choose a new guardian.
Lesh, but what about you?
I have so little strength left.
The guardian’s burden has grown too heavy for me.
Lesh won’t be the guardian anymore?
Will the humans attack us again?
Who else can protect us?
HUSH: Hark.
Hush the sky conqueror can become the guardian.
Guardian chatterbox?
Yeah, just what we need.
HUSH: I heard that.
But really, anyone can become the guardian.
You mean like even you?
No, no, no, Mavka.
You may be the sweet, pure soul of the forest, but for this job you are just way too nice.
No, I’m not.
Ooh. I feel unwell.
Ondina, are you alright?
See? So gullible and nice!
LESH: Enough!
All will be decided at midnight in the heart of the forest.
[FOREST-DWELLERS MUTTER]

Nice.
I am on high alert.
Our forest has just been incursion-ated by…
Argh! THE HUMANS!
I’ll watch him. You go get the nymphs.
Oh, no.
I say we can drive the human out of the forest on our own.
So I would be Hush, the first kicker-outer of humans?
Oh, I like that very much.
Argh!

Uh… Argh! Evil spirits.
Keep back, I’m warning you.
I… I’m a… borscht belt in combat polka.
[HUSH SPEAKS IN ECHOED TONES] Pathetic little human!
You violated our sacred forest…
Huh?!
..and tried to harm these noble bison.
No! Super no.
That was the bouncer brothers.
In fact, I saved the bison from them!
MAVKA: What is this, then?
Oh. That’s my flute.
I, uh, play my music on it… with it.
‘Music’?
And you were doing this to try and magically enchant me in some way?
No! Well, sure.
Music is kind of magic, but…
Wait, so you liked it, then?
You do not question me, little human!
Why have you trespassed here?
A strange lady offered me a big reward to find a special leaf.
Aha! You hear that? A reward!
I knew that all humans were selfish and greedy!
Why you little…

Well, I’m Lucas.
The soul of… myself?
Look, I can explain.
I need that reward to buy medicine for my uncle Leo.
No. I have been warned that humans are skilful liars.
You have broken the law of the forest and I expel you!
No expulsion necessary. I’ll leave myself.
Just let me find this silly leaf first or else my uncle… dies.
How awful. I’m so sorry.

Oh, thank you. You are so nice.

Do you really want to break the law to help a human on such a day?
You heard him.
He saved the bison, and for some reason… I believe him.

After all, the soul of the forest must help all the living creatures in the forest, right?
And Lucas is a living creature who is in the forest.

Me?
No way! Never!

No!
[BIRDS WINGS FLAP]
When will I learn that I’m incapable of saying no to you?

Defend this fragile, sacred place with your very life.
Please welcome our new guardian of the Source of Life and the forest.
[WONDROUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
That was just… whoa!
Our little Mavka is now the guardian.
I always knew this would happen.

There has got to be some mistake.
Why did the spirits not choose the strongest one?
With her as guardian, our forest is more in danger than ever.
Hey. Easy there, friend.
Who are you supposed to be?

You… [SNIFFS]

Go!

I promised I’d play for you.
Where is he? Where’s the human?
He got away.
What? How did he…
You helped him?
You have the powers of the guardian at your disposal, you could have – no, you should have stopped him.
The guardian doesn’t need your help deciding how and when to use her powers, Ondina.
Mavka, this human is no different than all the others.
He will betray you.
And when he does, we will all pay the price.
Hmm.
Frol!
Yes, madam?
There’s something about this boy Lucas I don’t trust.
Watch him.
I’m not so sure he came back from the forest empty-handed.
Me?!
Madam, I am a fashion tsar in the making, not a spy.
Oh, that’s too bad.
If I get what I want, I could establish you as the number one fashion god… in the world.
With my own Soul of Frol Manly Lace Boutique?
With a global chain of whatever insane thing you just said.
Then, if you need a spy, why, Frol is your guy.
[CHICKENS CLUCK]

That’s the Soul of Frol.
[CHICKENS CLUCK]
No. This really happened to me. Last night.
The forest is full of not demons but creatures.
And they are not fond of us at all.
Except Mavka. She is very nice.
Danger or no, I have to go back to the forest to Mavka, to thank her.

What if nothing happens while I’m here?
You’re absolutely right.

And I also found this.
Finally it will be mine!
[GASPS]
But… but there is nothing marked here!
Now think! Did Lucas say anything about the tree?
[STAMMERS] No!
Nothing about the tree, but he just said he will go into the forest again to see the nice forest.
The magma! Boy, what a fool.
It doesn’t make sense.
The nice forest magma?
Yeah, that’s what he said.
He probably wants to keep the source to himself.
Frol.
Yes, Madam?
Keep an eye on this boy.

[PIPES CREAK]
So much water has flowed past since that fateful day, the time has come for me to tell the full truth.
The battle all those winters ago – I’ve never told anyone the reason why it happened.
[WIND HOWLS]
The sawmill owner came to me in tears.
He was begging me to save his newborn daughter… and I believed in goodness in him.
I gave this human a drop from the Source of Life itself.
Soon, he returned with… well, with an army of humans.
They wanted the Source of Life for themselves.
So, I called for the Supreme Spirit of the Underworld, the One Who Sits in the Rock, to give me the Spark of Rage.
And, may all those I love forgive me, he did.
Everything good in me was replaced by sheer rage.
I burned and the world burned.
Humans and the forest alike.
Fire and hatred without end.
Have you seen Lucas?
Have you seen my boy, Lucas?
[CONDESCENDINGLY] Oh!
Your boy’s been taken by the evil forest demons.
Huh?
Stings, right?
But you can still save him if you join us.
Take the weapon, old man. I’m on a schedule here!
You stay here and make sure nobody finds the boy… unless you were just dying to be in the battle?
[CHUCKLES CONDESCENDINGLY]
This is for our home!

I might’ve frightened the people at the fair, but the forest means no harm to humans.
We can live in peace and even help each other.
“Help each other”?
A long time ago, the forest gave a drop from the Source of Life to the owner of the sawmill so he could heal his sick newborn daughter.
The forest saved you!
What? Nobody ever told me!
It is the truth.
[LAUGHS]
The truth?
The truth is the sawmill owner never had a daughter, but he had a beautiful wife that came up with a tragic story about a little sick daughter.
My husband was obedient but weak.
He only got me the one lousy drop that kept me young and fit for all these years.
But how does this make us enemies?
Oh, you’ll never understand this. Look at you!
You’re Nature’s queen, glowing and gorgeous forever!
You don’t know nothing about crow’s-feet, turkey neck, back fat.
You’ll never get old and saggy and shrivelled.
But I can give you one more drop.
That is so nice of you, but, see, if I get hold of the entire Source of Life, I will not only be young and beautiful forever, but it’ll also make me the richest, most powerful woman ever.
But without the Source of Life, the forest will die.
It’s gonna die one way or the other, honey, so why not just get out of my way?
Hm.
