Description

A strange winter settles over a remote Russian town, where rumors of a black‑winged mouse born to a witch and the sudden appearance of three rainbow‑colored suns stir fear and superstition. The locals, from the mute son Jermil to the fragile daughter Aljonka, grapple with whispered omens, feverish illnesses, and unsettling dreams that blur the line between reality and nightmare. Their conversations echo a desperate search for meaning as they mark windows with crosses and cling to religious hope amid an atmosphere of impending doom.

The narrative weaves together vivid folk motifs and a haunting sense of collective anxiety, portraying a community caught between ordinary hardships and uncanny, otherworldly signs. As harvests bloom unexpectedly and the town’s grain trade thrives, the uneasy peace is constantly threatened by the lingering presence of the enigmatic suns and the lingering dread of what may follow. This opening invites listeners into a lyrical, unsettling world where myth and daily life collide.
