This 1961 fantasy-drama retells folklore using traditional storytelling methods. While it includes Romani people to provide some ethnic diversity, the narrative remains tied to the conventions of its time. The film leans heavily on established clichés, such as the vulnerability of the female lead and the tension between the village and outside threats. It does not challenge or subvert the social norms of the era.
