About the film
What it’s about
Aysha's wedding plans are interrupted by news that her brother Timur has vanished. She goes back to the village she once fled, where uneasy memories, tight-lipped locals, and rumors of a cunning forest spirit called Shurale await. The search forces her to face a past she left behind and a secret buried deep in the woods.
What hooks you
Alina Nasibullina directs and plays Aysha, with Maksim Matveev as Mikhail. The film draws on Tatar mythology, mixing fantasy with thriller tension. Shot in the Moscow region and Tatarstan, it grounds its folkloric dread in real places. The premise of a malevolent spirit lurking in the dark thicket gives the mystery a supernatural edge.
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys regional folklore turned into slow-burning suspense, where an isolated village and its whispered legends create an oppressive atmosphere.
