Kostya, a once hopeful producer, is now out of business: his creative idea, which promised him fame and fortune, has failed miserably. And now he has no other choice but to move with his family to Vileysky district of Belarus. Here is his family nest - inherited old manor with a stunning park. Maybe all is not lost yet? A resourceful entrepreneur decides to take a rather risky step - to turn the estate into... an amusement town called "Kinder-Ville" - a kind of Belarusian Disneyland! Everyone likes the idea, except for the oldest inhabitant of the house - the evil spirit of the wizard, who was buried in the basement for cruelty in ancient times. No self-respecting ghost would tolerate crowds of clamoring kids in the neighborhood! So, at any cost it is necessary to expel the noisy family...
