The film takes place in two conditional "worlds" separated by symbolic gates. The first world is modernity, the 21st century, where life is in full swing. The second world is a kind of "magical" space of a fairy tale with all its inherent attributes – luxurious palaces, amazing clothes, harems, intrigues and wizards.
