lt was so long ago
that none of the elders remembers how long.
The sun ceased to shine over the tundra.
Everything remained dark in summer as well as winter.
The people despaired
and went to see a shaman.
l brought you these skins, old man.
Give us back the sun!
''Erkeneku... datiak... kerkeker'' The Light!
Eh! Yep! Now you may leave!
You brought too few skins. - Too few?
We have given you all we had!
You have cheated us.
l'll visit the Sun myself and ask it why it has become dark in the tundra.
Kutili!
Did you hear that?
l heard it all, father
He will not get far if I follow him.
Right! Go...
May the spirits help you.
This time, it's my turn to help your spirits, father.
Do not go, Etuvgi!
You will die in the tundra.
l have promised, mama. l must go.
How can l thank you?
Help me to find the Sun.
l do not know where the Sun is.
lf you want... We will take you to the wise man of the deer
maybe he can help you.
Tungak!
Come...e....e
What do you want, North-Wind
The hunter Etuvgi wants to visit the Sun
lf he passes by here: kill him!
Go and guard the summit. Let no one pass.
l know where you want to go. l will help you.
Those are no longer simple skis.
They will always help the one who goes to do a good deed.
but one with evil intention... had better not use them!
You have done me well, father of the deer.
Those are my skis! - Yours? Who are you?
l am Etuvgi, the hunter.
You want to fight?
Yes! l want to...
Here, drink... Refresh yourself a bit.
Thank you for being so good to me!
Raven, do you know where the Sun is?
l know.
You are brave.
So for you, the more dangerous route should be a piece of cake.
...if you know why you take it.
See that summit?
Cruel birds keep the watch there for Tungak.
lf you have rope and a hook of bone... l can help you.
Listen to what I tell you:
With your skis you can go not just on top of the snow
but also on top of the clouds! Put them on... and wait!
When some clouds float by beneath you, jump onto a cloud...
From there, it is not far to the cabin of the Sun
What did you come for?
I've come to talk with you.
Why do you keep yourself hidden?
Why don't you shine for people anymore?
I am grieving.
l can't shine anymore because the Cold has kidnapped my daughter: Spring.
And if l save your daughter...
will you shine again?
lf you have enough strength...
if you sacrifice your own blood to find Spring
then light will return.
Here is a coal from my hearth.
It will help you in your hour of need.
My reindeer will take you to where the Cold lives...
From there you will have to decide for yourself what needs to be done.
Hey, Cold!
Come...e...e...e
lt seems that Tungak did not stop the hunter Etuvgi
Since he is now coming this way..y...y...y!
Ahh, you came, did you? - l came.
And why did you come? - l came for Spring.
Why did you kidnap her from the Sun? Why are you hiding her from the people?
l will hide you in the same way!
...if you sacrifice your own blood...
