Plot

edit

Unsuccessful writer-storyteller Afanasy Zyablik is not able to write a single fairy tale. He can only muster enough energy to write a title. A gust of wind scatters the sheets with names of fairy tales, and the page with the title "I'll Buy a Magic Lamp" appears in the hands of Baba Yaga's daughter in real life. Baba Yaga's daughter runs away from her native forest, taking with her the very same magic lamp that the son of Koshchei the Immortal wanted to possess, to the modern house where Zyablikov's apartment is. She gifts Afanasy a magic hat to help him write his tales and later falls in love with their neighbor the young doctor Alexey.

For Andrei Sokolov this was the first film in his career. He got the role by chance: he came with his actress friend to the studio and while he waited for her he walked around. He was noticed by the director Vitaliy Makarov and got the offer to star in the film.[3]
