The Dark Flute of the Camp Counselor

In a detective thriller inspired by the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, events unfold at the “Squirrel” pioneer camp, where a whole squad of thirty children disappears mysteriously. The day before, sounds of a flute were heard from the playground, and in the morning a message in French is found on the wall. Anton Shaigin, the leader who was the last to see the children, behaves strangely—like he’s gone mad—and keeps playing an imaginary flute without stopping. Investigator Staev, who arrives to investigate, discovers that the disappearance was preceded by other mysterious events, and that the situation is strikingly reminiscent of an old case about dead pioneers. An atmospheric thriller with elements of social drama carries viewers into a dark, enigmatic story—full of goosebump-inducing descriptions and an investigation that reveals details of a similar terrifying incident from Soviet times, as noted by Harry, author of the Telegram channel “Harry’s Second Life.”
