00:00The narrative transports us to the year 1616 AD, a time of devastating wars in Europe that
00:05resulted in the death and displacement of millions, sparking a period of famine and
00:10epidemics.
00:11In this grim setting, a young man named Crab, along with two companions, roams from village
00:16to village seeking charity.
00:18On a chilly, snowy night, they find shelter in a desolate dwelling, choosing this place
00:22to spend the night.
00:24That night, Crab is disturbed by dreams of crows and a mysterious voice urging him to
00:28follow these birds in search of food and safe shelter.
00:31At dawn, following the trail of the crows, Crab heads alone to the indicated place.
00:37After a long day's journey, he arrives at a gloomy site where he discovers a flour mill
00:41next to a wooden cabin.
00:43Despite his fear, he decides to enter the cabin where he encounters a mysterious one-eyed
00:48master who offers him an apprenticeship at the mill, on the condition that he obeys without
00:53question.
00:54Driven by curiosity and lack of alternatives, Crab agrees, unaware that this encounter will
00:59mark an irreversible turn in his life.
01:01After accepting the job, the master assigns Crab a corner on the upper floor of the house
01:05to set up his residence.
01:07Once the master leaves, Crab tries to settle in for sleep in his new space.
01:11That same night, Tonda, the most experienced craftsman at the mill, approaches him to introduce
01:16him to the other employees.
01:18The next morning, during breakfast, Crab is about to start eating when Senti, another
01:22worker, roughly pushes him to the ground and disdainfully tells him to find another
01:25place to sit.
01:27Most of those present laugh at the situation, although Tonda and some others do not share
01:31Senti's contemptuous attitude, who along with his allies displays a clearly hostile
01:36nature.
01:37With the arrival of winter, a thick layer of snow covers the surroundings.
01:41Tonda and other employees strive to clear the snow accumulated on the mill's wheels
01:45and other critical areas.
01:47During these efforts, while some workers transport sacks inside the mill, Senti and his group
01:51hinder Crab, telling him that he is not yet authorized to enter and belittling his strength
01:56compared to theirs.
01:58In an attempt to prove his capability, Crab tries to move a cart loaded with grain but
02:02fails, which triggers laughter and mockery from the others.
02:06Challenged to unload the sacks from the cart, Crab attempts it, but his weakness prevents
02:09him from handling the weight of the sacks properly, causing his fall and provoking even
02:13more mockery among the workers.
02:15The boys burst into laughter as they enjoyed their lunch.
02:19At that moment, Master Jerong appeared, reminding them that tonight was the new moon, a crucial
02:24time for upcoming preparations.
02:26From the window of his room, Crab watched the young men in the mill, illuminated by
02:30torches ready to follow the Master's instructions.
02:33He directed them to prepare to unload sacks from the cart, but warned them not to look
02:37at the driver.
02:39Soon after, a cart arrived, driven by a masked figure.
02:42Obeying the Master, the young men unloaded the sacks and moved them inside the mill.
02:47Driven by curiosity, Crab slipped among the shadows to investigate.
02:50The millers began to process the sacks, and the contents were terrifying, bones and skeletons
02:56that were pulverized under the heavy machines.
02:58Panic seized Crab as he discovered this, and just as he was about to scream, Tanda quickly
03:03covered his mouth, silencing him and alerting him to the severe consequences of being discovered
03:07by the Master.
03:08He urged Crab to return to his room.
03:11Over time, Crab grew stronger and more skilled in the mill's labors, forging friendships
03:15with some of the youths, including Tanda, who became his inseparable friend.
03:20One day, in everyone's absence, Crab discovered a mysterious door near the Master's room.
03:25When everyone returned, the routine was restored, but the secret of that night stayed with him,
03:29making him more aware of the sinister world that surrounded him.
03:33Then, Crab inquired one of the mill boys about the mysterious room.
03:37The young man confessed that there, the Master taught black magic lessons to those who fully
03:41committed themselves as his disciples.
03:44He indicated that if Crab passed certain tests, he too would be initiated into the
03:48dark rituals.
03:49The next day, Dr. Crab led Crab to the secret room where the Master was already deeply involved
03:54in teaching his apprentices.
03:56He explained that being the Easter season and according to their traditions, they were
03:59to travel in pairs to various nearby villages and return before dawn.
04:03Tanda and Crab, whose friendship had grown deep, followed the instructions and headed
04:07towards the outskirts of Swartz Village, where they settled under an ancient tree.
04:11Meanwhile, the villagers were conducting rituals with lit candles.
04:16It was then that Tanda drew a symbol on Crab's forehead and asked him to close his eyes.
04:20As he did, their souls detached from their bodies and moved towards the village.
04:25Tanda clarified to Crab that although invisible to people, they could be heard and if they
04:29touched someone, they would become visible to that person.
04:32During their foray into invisibility, they encountered Millie, a young woman who captivated
04:37Crab.
04:38At this point, Millie stumbled and Crab, by supporting her, made himself visible to her.
04:42This contact stirred feelings in Millie toward Crab.
04:44Simultaneously, Tanda and Selina, a village girl, also felt love for each other.
04:49Hearing Tanda's voice, Selina rushed towards him despite not being able to see him.
04:53She questions him about how much longer they will keep their love a secret, to which Tanda
04:57answers that he doesn't know.
04:59Later, Tanda's spirit grabs Crab's spirit's hand, facilitating their return to their physical
05:06bodies.
05:07Tanda warns Crab to keep what happened a secret or they will face the deadly wrath of the
05:12Master.
05:13Crab, intrigued, inquires about the mysteries hidden within the mill and the knowledge the
05:17Master possesses.
05:19He expresses his desire to live with Selina, though Tanda admits he feels trapped and anxious
05:23to escape the Master's control, aware that no one has ever escaped alive.
05:28Tanda advises Crab to tread carefully as the Master watches everything.
05:32Following this exchange, they return to the mill.
05:35That night, at a crucial moment, Crab is permitted to enter the part of the mill where
05:38the wheat is processed.
05:40Along with other youths, he engages in loading heavy sacks of wheat into the machine, a strenuous
05:44task that leaves him injured, yet he persists until dawn.
05:48At that moment, the Master appears and challenges Crab to prove his strength by dragging a cart
05:53full of grain.
05:54Everyone is astonished to see that Crab, who previously could barely lift a sack, now handles
05:59the full cart with ease.
06:01The Master declares that Crab has passed the test and integrates him into his circle of
06:05disciples.
06:07Following that, Crab and the other disciples are led to a mysterious room where the Master
06:11teaches them dark arts.
06:14Each young person is given a staff and they learn to manipulate it without physical contact.
06:19Crab spends his days perfecting his staff handling skills.
06:22On one occasion, the Master leads him to a hill and, after pushing him from the summit,
06:27teaches him to metamorphose into a crow.
06:30Soaring through the skies in this new form, Crab joins other transformed boys.
06:34They fly together, covering great distances before returning to the mill and resuming
06:39their human shapes.
06:40The next day, while gathering wood in the forest, Crab confides in Tonda his desire
06:45to reunite with Millie.
06:46Tonda, harboring a similar longing for Selina, warns of the high risk of such an endeavor,
06:52pointing out that revealing their plan to the Master would be fatal for everyone.
06:56Later, during dinner, the Master reveals that he has detected a band of thieves nearby,
07:01planning to raid the village of Shorts and possibly the mill afterward.
07:05He orders his disciples to pre-empt the criminals and stop them before they reach the village,
07:09driven by the possibility of seeing their loved ones, Tonda and Crab, along with other
07:14youths from the mill.
07:15Headed down towards Shorts, there they urge the villagers to take refuge in their homes
07:19due to the imminent threat and prepare for defense.
07:22The reunion of Millie and Selina with Crab and Tonda is tinged with clandestine joy.
07:27Shortly afterward, the thieves storm into the village on horseback.
07:30The villagers, following the advice received, hide while the young men from the mill confront
07:34the assailants, who initially seem to dominate the fight.
07:37In a decisive turn, Tonda, Crab, and a few other disciples activate the magical staves
07:42provided by the Master, deploying their arcane abilities to reverse the course of the battle.
07:46In a vertex of emotions and speed, Tonda faces and overcomes a group of thugs with a single
07:52aerial spin.
07:53While Selina hurries to a nearby cabin, concerned, Tonda chases after her, calling her name loudly.
07:59Upon entering the cabin, he doesn't find Selina but the Master, who surprisingly already
08:03knows the young woman's name.
08:06This unexpected encounter concludes with everyone returning to the camp, though Tonda cannot
08:10hide his unease.
08:12During the evening, one of the youths at the camp shares a chilling tale with Tonda.
08:16The previous inhabitant of the place had fallen deeply in love with a girl from the village.
08:21However, after the Master found out, the tragic fate of the young woman was sealed when her
08:25body was discovered in the nearby canal, followed by the suicide of the heartbroken lover.
08:31The calm of the night is abruptly disrupted when someone announces the discovery of a
08:35body in that same canal.
08:37Panicked, Tonda rushes to the scene, faced with the devastating reality.
08:41The body is that of Selina, his beloved, plunging him into an abyss of sorrow.
08:46In the midst of his torment, Tonda makes a request to his confidant Crab.
08:51Should he be absent one day, Crab must hide sacks of flour near a tree in the forest to
08:56ensure the sustenance of the villagers.
08:59Faced with Crab's question about his future plans, Tonda remains silent, lost in thought
09:04as the night progresses, and a mysterious carriage approaches the scene, driven by a
09:09sinister-looking character.
09:11At the first light of dawn, Tonda discovers that the Master worships darkness.
09:15He watches the Master, now frail and aged, board a carriage and drive away.
09:20Crab, confused, fails to understand the events, or the Master's fate.
09:25That same night, as Crab rests, Tonda places his knife by his side.
09:29Upon waking, Crab finds himself alone and sets out to search for Tonda, only to find
09:34him lifeless and bloodied at the foot of some stairs.
09:37The scene tears Crab apart and he collapses and sobs.
09:40Soon, other youths gather and together they bury Tonda.
09:44Tonda's loss plunges Crab into loneliness, being the only person he truly trusted.
09:48He questions Senti about the pre-existing grave, wondering if they already knew someone
09:52would die, but Senti remains silent.
09:55Later, returning to the mill, Crab encounters the Master, inexplicably rejuvenated, enjoying
09:59a feast with other youths as if nothing had happened.
10:03Seeing the Master laugh and socialize carelessly, Crab is consumed with rage and confronts the
10:07group, accusing them of celebrating while they had just buried Tonda.
10:11One of the youths reveals that they have already found a replacement for Tonda and
10:16they are celebrating his arrival.
10:17The words ignite Crab's anger, who begins to assault several of them, accusing that
10:23even the Master shares in the corruption of his followers.
10:26In a critical moment, one of them inquired about his whereabouts at the time of Tonda's
10:30death and how he and his beloved had met such an enigmatic end.
10:34The Master, with a disturbing serenity, replied that such mysteries were commonplace in that
10:39place and that the cycle perpetuated eternally.
10:42Not long after, a young man who had been at the mill for some time took over Tonda's
10:46responsibilities and a new face soon joined them.
10:49One night, Tommy Crab, a long-established worker at the mill, shared his desolation
10:54with a colleague, declaring that everything was an ambush by the Master and that those
10:58who dared to challenge his rules never came out alive, inevitably meeting a mysterious
11:02and deadly end.
11:04He asserted that the fate of Tonda and other fallen ones would be the fate of everyone,
11:09sooner or later, as long as the Master remained alive, since somehow he always managed to
11:13rejuvenate just when his old age became evident.
11:17That night, after hearing Tommy, Crab desperately tried to escape the mill, but the Master,
11:21with his dark magic, visualized him fleeing on a map.
11:25Using his spells, he confused Crab, who, disoriented, found himself back at the mill without knowing
11:30how.
11:31It was then that Crab realized that escape was impossible under the Master's dominion.
11:37The next day, while hiding two sacks of flour in the forest for the villagers, he confirmed
11:41the bitter truth.
11:43His fate was irreversibly tied to the Master's yoke.
11:46She approaches him and questions him about his love.
11:49Crab, without hesitation, affirms that he does.
11:51Millie mentions that she had already suspected it, but points out that he, like Tonda, is
11:55frightened.
11:56She explains that the reason is that every man who has fallen in love with a woman in
12:00their village has ended up dying.
12:02Crab acknowledges that this is why he prefers to avoid putting her at risk.
12:06Just then, at the factory, the Master, using his shadowy abilities, discovers that Crab
12:10has been hiding flour for the villagers and that he is having an affair with a young woman
12:14from the area.
12:15Furious, he uses spells to set the village on fire while they remain sitting there.
12:20The next night, during a ritual, Crab and Jury observe the ashes of what was the village.
12:25Crab, fearing for Millie's life, sinks into sadness.
12:28However, his heart lightens when he sees her safe and sound.
12:32She recounts how the fire broke out mysteriously the night before, sweeping through most of
12:37the homes and claiming several lives, although she and a few others managed to survive.
12:42At that moment, Jarrow approaches them and suggests that they flee before the Master
12:46discovers their whereabouts.
12:48Crab expresses his desire not to return, but Jarrow reminds him of the severe consequences.
12:53Finally, Crab agrees to meet Millie in the forest at the end of the week and leaves together
12:58with Jarrow.
12:59Although the Master watches them with suspicion, both enter a room where Jury confides to Robert
13:04that there is a way to escape the Master's yoke, but they will need to strengthen their
13:08determination and maintain control over their minds.
13:11Jury explains that they must train their minds to prevent the Master from clouding them,
13:16and then instructs that on the last day of the year, she must request her emancipation
13:21from the Master, taking advantage of the tradition that dictates he grants the wishes made on
13:26that date.
13:27With this information, he heads to the forest on the last day of the week to hide sacks
13:31of flour and there meets with her.
13:33He reveals to her that on the last day of the year, she must ask the Master for her
13:38freedom so they can be together.
13:40After sharing this, he returns to the mill and begins to exercise daily control over
13:44his mind.
13:46Days pass until the night of the new moon when, while unloading sacks of bones, Tommy
13:51is injured, an incident the Master is indifferent to due to Tommy's advanced age and his
13:56decreasing labor usefulness.
13:58At dawn, everyone discovers Tommy hanging from a gallows and he understands that it
14:03is another maneuver by the Master.
14:05He confronts the Master, accusing him of murder and questioning how much longer this deadly
14:10game will persist.
14:12The Master responds that in this place, those who are not useful must leave, and he decides
14:17who lives and who dies.
14:19Upon hearing this, and knowing that the Master is aware of his girlfriend and his intention
14:24to request her release, he becomes distressed and seeks out Jor, revealing that the Master
14:28knows their strategy.
14:30Jor reassures him, assuring that they can still outsmart the Master and that time is
14:34on their side.
14:35With this in mind, they develop a new plan for her to be ready and successfully secure
14:39her release the next day.
14:41Where did you get that information?
14:43Joro inquired, visibly bewildered, but the other person kept the secret.
14:47Just make sure to maintain your mental calm, she suggested, knowing that the Master would
14:51try to disorient him by all means.
14:54In a twist of events, the Master summoned Crab to his chambers, trying to instigate
14:58him against Joro.
15:00Despite the Master's efforts, Crab resisted the manipulation and, in a moment of anger,
15:05lunged at him armed with a knife.
15:06With surprising skill, the Master deflected the attack and caused a wound in Crab's hand.
15:11Defiantly, Crab assured the Master that his schemes were useless against him and left
15:15in search of Joro.
15:16On New Year's Eve, Millie unexpectedly encountered the Master.
15:20She declared her love for Crab and begged him to let him go.
15:23The Master, calculating and unwilling to yield, led Millie to a dark room populated with crows.
15:28He presented her with a challenge.
15:30If she could identify Crab among the birds, he would release him.
15:34Millie carefully examined each crow until, guided by a familiar scent, she recognized
15:39Crab.
15:40As agreed, Crab was set free.
15:42However, as soon as his freedom was validated, the crows, who were actually disguised youths,
15:47launched a fierce attack against the Master.
15:49They revealed themselves in their human form and surrounded the Master.
15:52Crab reminded him of his commitment to freedom and, strengthened by renewed unity and trust,
15:57they warned him that they would not fall for his deceptions again.
16:00One of them lit the fire that would consume the cursed letter sealing the end of the Master's
16:04dominion over them.
16:06In this way, the young people leave the mill, leaving behind the fire that consumes the
16:11building.
16:12The Master, weakened by his old age and the decline of his powers, fails to escape the
16:16flames and his fate is sealed along with the mill reduced to ashes.
16:22Finally free, the young people disperse, leaving behind the dark chapter of their lives.
16:27This is the conclusion of this intriguing fantasy thriller movie.
