Eight people gather at a homestead in the middle of nowhere to celebrate a feast together. It is the family members and closest confidants of Anton, who fled from his life a few years ago, broke off all contacts and now unexpectedly invited to his 30th birthday. In joyful anticipation of the prodigal son, those left behind try the spirits of the past.
Twelve princesses sleep in twelve beds in the same room; every night their doors are securely locked, but in the morning their shoes are found to be worn through as if they had been dancing all night. The king, in mourning, promises his kingdom and a daughter to any man who can discover the princesses'secret within three days and three nights, but those who fail within the set time limit will be put to death.
