The Heiress of Werewolves poster
NR

Latvia. The end of the 19th century. In a corner of a parish on the shore of a lake, two families live side by side. The Dievlodziņi and the Vilkači. With a long-standing hatred in their relations. True, the manifestations of hatred are felt only in the Dievlodziņi homes. How could it not! They are increasingly unlucky, diseases and livestock diseases strike, and the crops do not yield. In contrast, in the Vilkači, everything grows in a whirlwind, and diseases also continue to take a detour. This leads us to think that the Vilkači family achieves its prosperity by pestering and practicing witchcraft. Over time, they have also managed to turn the other people of the parish against them. However, the essence is completely different. The Vilkači people, being Christians, have not forgotten the ancient traditions and customs of the Latvian people, which are rooted in human life, not separating themselves from nature.

They were introduced to each other in the city park. The acquaintance of the two teams ended with the fact that cadet Khmara became an unwitting culprit of an "emergency incident" provoked by the German crew. Nevertheless, strictly on schedule loaded ships left the harbor. A severe storm off the southern coast of Africa seriously tested the fortitude of the two crews. The Germans were the first to enter the storm...
