Middle Ages: Bulgaria is under the Ottoman Empire. Somewhere, far in the mountains, goatherd Karaivan lives with his wife and little daughter, Mariya. One day Turks burst into the house and rape the woman before the eyes of the daughter and husband. After the rape, she is killed by a raper and the girl is shocked into growing dumb. From this moment on, Karaivan is obsessed with the sole thought of taking revenge. He moves with his daughter into a cave high in the mountains, raises her as if she is a boy, trains her to fight and draw a bow. Deep in her heart, the girl has no hatred, but a craving for love. She meets a young Muslim shepherd and falls in love. The father is unable to swallow it and kills the young man. Written by Georgi Djulgerov

Trivia Director Nikolay Volev chose Elena Petrova for the role of Mariya in this film after a tough casting. At the first one in South Park, Volev makes the few girls behave like savages. They have to climb trees, hit powerfully and fight with sticks. Volev was looking for a young girl who looked like a savage so he could impersonate Haitov's heroine. The mousy beauty fit his idea perfectly, but with one small detail - her big black eyes were darting like a wild goat's, as if she was just waiting for someone to touch her so that she could take off her clothes and give herself to him completely. "I wanted a savage, not a whore," the famous director shocked his team. To achieve his goal, he set about taming the inexperienced in cinema Elena by retaining her savage charm but removing the "slutty air" that didn't fit Mariya's image. See more »
