Skip it—this Ukrainian fantasy romance sounds like it's trying to be a moody, atmospheric dark fairy tale, but the premise (forbidden love between a scientist and a forest nymph) feels derivative without the cultural weight or star power to justify a watch. Without critical backing or a recognizable director to vouch for the execution, you're taking a real gamble on what could easily be overwrought melodrama.

Plot

The Mavka, a mystical and dangerous forest nymph, falls in love with the biologist Lukyan instead of destroying him in the mysterious forest lake, where mermaids and other nymphs await men's souls. And they are ready to do anything to keep the Mavka on the dark side.
