Plot

''The film depicts the relationship between forest spirits and humans. The main character from among the forest dwellers is the kind and naive Mavka, who awakens in the spring to rouse the other spirits. The musician Lukash, to save his sick uncle Lev, ventures into the mysterious and forbidden forest to find the Tree of life at the behest of the cruel Kylina. In fact, Kylyna wants to use the nourishing power of the tree to gain eternal youth. Mavka admires Lukash's musical talent and feelings begin to develop between them.''

''The cartoon omits certain characters from Lesya Ukrainka's original work, such as Lukash's mother, Perelesnyk, and Paterchat. In their place, new characters have been introduced, such as the frog Kvus, the forester Hook, the dog Lukash Shust, the lynx, and numerous other forest creatures.''
