Kostroma (2002)

Overview

The girl cut off her braid and went wherever she looked - to look for the groom. She is joined by a strange old man dressed in a transparent raincoat. There is a scythe about three blades on Grandfather's shoulder. He persistently pulls the girl "to the church" - to baptize someone, and the "first comer" should be the godfather. "I can't go to church," the girl objects. - There's a young, funny father there. I will laugh at him..." So she follows the old man past a blooming meadow, along a fast, cold river... Weaves a wreath along the way, decorating it with colored ostrich feathers caught from the water. A lot of events will happen along the way - one is more incomprehensible than the other, and then there will be a wedding and girls in embroidered sundresses with songs will carry garlands of hay on their shoulders with ribbons, red plows will float down the river, and in the foreground is a girl with a groom.
