The Dragon Spell (2016) 6

Ukraine | 2016 | 85 min.

In an age of monsters and heroes, the lines between the human and magic worlds are blurred. The kingdom of Kiev is under siege by a ferocious and unstoppable dragon. Only a hero named Cyril Tanner is able to defeat the beast, but the dragon’s spirit lives on. A magical flower, the Fire Blossom, is the only thing that can bring the dragon back to life, but the dragon’s spirit is forced to possess the body of the Fire Blossom’s guardian instead, the good witch Siringa. Adler the wizard tries to save the good witch, but to no avail. With a heavy heart, Adler has no choice but to use his magic to seal the dragon-possessed witch inside the dragon’s lair. He doesn’t see Siringa’s baby daughter crawl away…
