When a water sprite appears in the swamps, her trip turns into a life-or-death adventure. Meanwhile, a policewoman sets off in search of her and is herself drawn into the mysterious goings-on of magical figures. In a brilliant showdown, the aim is to break a curse that is deeply rooted in Elina's past.
