This is a story of a shaman family in the village ‘Mikhalinka’ in Ukraine, where a little shaman protects the forest. 

 The old villagers still deeply believe in the legend of the forest spirit ‘Raelcun’. The origins of this legend are still unknown but it lives on in this family and the village.  

 Shaman traditions are often treated as superstitions or fairy tales in ethnographical curiosities and they are disappearing in the name of modernisation.
