The Dark world - Temnyy Mir

Marina?

Again, you're depressed?

Turn down the music!

Stop when I tell you! The administrator will be angry.

Marina! I have to study and my head hurts!

This style is called the "Dead Bride". How does it look?

I think "Sad Vampire" would be more accurate.

Hi. Thought we were going together? - Thought you didn't want to!

Patricia called and told us you were depressed.

Really? I think I understand. - Okay, Marina, it's already late.

Do you have money?

Come with us, I'll see if I can buy a ticket.

What are you listening to?

Tinny.

Marina... serves!

Marina... point!

Hi.

Can I sit here? - No.

Why? - I want peace.

Nice shot!

Gentlemen philosophers! Your attention!

Whoever they bring in, sign it.

No one's fallen out, so far. Congratulations!

Hopefully I'll see most of you next autumn.

Those who are coming on the folklore expedition,

please contact me. That's it!!

Patricia said you weren't going.

Maybe.

Do you mind? - No.

Can I get a light? - Sure.

This is a nice lighter.

A gift from Egypt.

Egypt... you know, Marina, This is a negative sign.

The ANKH is the key to secret knowledge ...and power.

This helps in your lessons?

Honestly? Not much.

Marina. I've watched you for some time.

Mysticism, secret knowledge... everything you've learned...

in essence it's an escape... from fear and failure, yes?

An escape from the real world.

You don't believe other worlds exist?

Of course not.

Sorry, Sergey, it's cold here.

I hope I didn't offend you. - Not at all.

I just wanted to...

And if there's life after death?

Spirits can give us the knowledge we need.

To gain freedom and power over the forces of nature.

Join your friends.

Poor child. Her head's full of chaos.

Marina, tell me, as an expert. Does Baba Yaga really exist?

We're here for discussion.

I mean, when we get to the forest will it all be true?

What? - Well, Baba Yaga, elves, ghosts...

...unclean forces. - For us researchers, it's just folklore

We've each a different point of view... that may change...

Marina, what's your opinion? - What do you care?

Baba Yaga is not a spirit, but a living corpse. Her house is her grave.

She guards the entrance to the afterlife. Blind and reliant on scent.

She cooks food for the dead, if he refuses, she eats.

This is the reality.

Give me your soul!

- Wow! - Horrible!

Very funny.

Yaga appears among the shrouded in Siberia. When we get there it won't.

Says' who?

Lappiska Witch.

Wild dogs.

- There should be a village called Lapjasuri. - There's no village...

...just wilderness

An abandoned village. - Even before the war it was abandoned.

And there's no road.

Sorry, my hand slipped.

I guarantee you. We'll soon be there.

Karelsko lake.

Which one?

Either...

How do we get there?

On foot! How else?

Baja is here. About 7 km.

Ratalahti is about here...

Hey!

Stop it!

No signal, I've tried.

Hello!

Unclean powers, whoa!

Come out!

Artur!

There's food!

So, are you ready to walk?

What a profession! - The horror.

Real safari, shit.

Who's there?

Who are you?

Students are welcome.

Now, eat, dear children, eat.

Baked potatoes, in chicken stew.

Eat, eat, my dears. Enjoy the chicken broth.

Eat. - Thank you very much.

Do you want to study now or wait until tomorrow?

I think, tomorrow morning. We're all tired.

Well, yes. Yeah, right.

Whichever you prefer. Magic to attract...

and separate, too... naturally.

Nothing! There are no footprints.

To be sure.

Protection against the unclean?

Protection is required?

You'll need it. Everything you can get.

Here you are.

Grandma, what were you doing in the woods alone?

Can't you guess?

I was gathering mushrooms, strawberries, and herbs before winter.

At night?

Apparently she sees in infrared.

Well, I have sharp eyes I see everything.

Baja is good. Wherever you look, mushrooms, various plants...

And all natural!

Why did you go dressed in white?

So the bloodsuckers don't pester me.

Mosquitoes don't like white?

Well, yes.

I can't.

Why?

That bitch!

You're nothing! Animal!

Put me down! Let me go!

I hate you! You bastard!

What's going on?

Women problems!

Marina!

Marina!

Sorry... Young people, you know.

Marina! Marina!

Sergey Rudolfovich, we'll go with you... - You shouldn't go alone.

We'll all search.

Fool. What a fool.

Fool.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Thank you. - Good luck and health.

Bye...

Here is a forest,

now again all swamp.

Marina! Marina!

Easy. Don't show fear.

This dog belongs to grandma

They'll come looking for us, I'm sure.

It can show us the way back.

See, let's go.

Where were you going. Running away.

How are you? Are you ok?

Well, well.

I want to die.

Kostya! - Kostya!

Marina! - Give me your hand.

Marina!

Careful - Bastard!

See this, Artur? - This is what happens!

Bad situation. - Hurry up

It's the 21st century! We're young...

Something's wrong? - What's the problem Artur?

Shut your mouth! What we drank together...

No problem, Artur. I only feel sorry for the girls.

Hopeless. - What?

Kostya! - Marina!

Marina, you didn't need to come. And about the Witchcraft...

In general, it's all nonsense anyway!

I'll tell you a story... some time...

Ok.

Sooner or later we all die. What you have or do... means nothing!

It's a village. - What the...

Come on.

What is this place? - It can't be the place the driver spoke of?

Abandoned village.

Open the door!

Wait.

Watch your step.

Marina. Marina!

Marina, where are you?

You dead?

What?!

You alright?

Hey, what's down there?

I don't know.

Kostya! - Kostya!

Marina! - Marina!

Some kind of ruin? - Dead village. I've heard of these places.

Everyone's gone. You can smell decay!

The driver said there were no settlements.

Well, Sergey Rudolfovich.

I guess there's no one? - The doors are broken!

Marina!

You recognise this? - Nope.
