Description

The story tells a beautiful tale of the life of young Assol, who dreams of finding happiness. Little Assol, raised by a kind and loving father, lives a secluded life. Her peers repel her; adults don’t like her. The tale of the crimson sails, told in the forest by a stranger, becomes part of her soul. Assol lives in anticipation of a miracle. And if you believe in a dream—if you give it your life—it becomes a mighty creative force.

A symbolic fairy tale—an enchanting fantasy about love and about the idea that even the most impossible dreams can come true—has become a landmark, cult work that inspired many poets, musicians, and filmmakers to develop the romantic culture of the 20th century.
