The Miller Who Was a Wizard, a Cheat and a Matchmaker

About the show

In a Russian village, the miller Fadei uses his reputation as a wizard to help Filimon win Anyuta, whose parents disagree about what kind of husband she should have. Fadei separately tells each parent that the future groom will meet their expectations; the quarrel resolves when Filimon proves to be both a landowner and an active farmer.
