Synopsis
Mistress of the Mountain (Khozyaika Gory, 2021) is a Russian mystery drama you can watch online on iFILM. The mining settlement of Kamenny, the 1990s. For generations the locals have passed down the legend of the green-eyed Princess Maria Tumanova, nicknamed Basilisk — once the owner of the emerald mines.
Before she died, Tumanova hid her treasure somewhere in the village and laid a curse on anyone who would dare claim it. Ever since, people lower their voices when they say the princess's name and keep their distance from the old shaft. The only one bold enough to spit in the face of that fear is seventeen-year-old Alyonka Koshkina — openly, without flinching. That same day her father digs a jewelry box out of the mine. The find brings the village nothing but ruin.
The cast features Anna Snatkina, Viktoriya Tolstoganova and Anastasia Kuimova, with Ekaterina Dvigubskaya directing. What makes it tick is the blend of Ural folk tale and grimy 1990s crime — less a straight ghost story than a tale of greed, guilt and the bill that always comes due. A good pick for fans of Russian mystery dramas built on a legend. Stream Mistress of the Mountain (2021) online on iFILM.
