Flowering of the fern

Film tells the story of two old men — a forester and a beekeeper. One of them is a romantic, who believes in miracles and other one is pragmatic. Each of them tells about "ikotka" — a specific illness, which affects women and is known from Karelia to the Ural. Local people call "ikotka" a creature which settles in a human body and spoils the life of it's owner.
