Plot Synopsis
A disagreement is taking place in The Theological Seminary of Tbilisi in 1896 about how much stock should be placed in in folklore and mythologies by members of the Orthodox Church. A story about Baba Yaga stealing the children of a small town is used as talking point in the debate. The story ends with Baba Yaga commenting that both her time and that of the Orthodox Church are coming to a close due to the rise of communism in Eastern Europe.
