1961 16+ 9 min

Synopsis:

An animated film based on a folk tale where a blacksmith’s wife turns an apprentice into a horse every night with magic and takes him to the witches’ hall. The apprentice is irznemogao and he swears by his mistress. One evening, when the landlady came to him again by stealth, he bewitches her with her own magic. The blacksmith’s wife lost the set, because it was reshaped by the horse and it was also shod.
