Макабрическая вещица про дьявольские проделки и бесплатный сыр в мышеловке. Вечный сюжет про невозможность построения счастья на крови.

After his deal with the devil, committed on St. John's Eve, Petró cannot remember the frame he committed to to seal the deal and earn his bags of gold.

A year later, on the next St. John's Eve, Petró's memory returns. Shattering.

Gogol gives us village superstition, witches in their huts, Satan the tempter, and young love thwarted: all the caltrops of folklore in one bitter cup.
