Movie Description Young Assol lives with her ex-sailor father, Longren, in a reclusive home on the outskirts of a remote Russian fishing village; there they are outcasts, spurned and taunted by the other townsfolk, and the butt of children's jokes. But Assol was issued a prophecy by a wizard as a very young child, which has helped her bear her hardships with valor and courage; he told her that someday a brave sailor would arrive to take her to a faraway land under crimson sails, and she has grown up waiting patiently for the prophecy to come true. A young man who has grown up in the village appreciates the beauty of the romantic and dreamy Assol; he becomes a valiant sea captain, and plans to make her dreams come true. This is a beautiful, poetic fairy tale, adapted for the screen with characteristic charm from Alexander Grin's novel by Alexander Ptushko.
