The story follows Yuri, a quiet farm girl played by Helena Zengel (News of the World), who lives in the remote island of Carpathia. When she discovers a wounded baby ochi—a mystical creature feared by her village—Yuri chooses to help it instead of turning away. Together, they embark on a quest to reunite the creature with its family, uncovering hidden truths and forging an unlikely bond along the way.
Joining Zengel in the cast are award-winning actor Willem Dafoe as her father Maxim, Emily Watson as Dasha, and Finn Wolfhard as Petro. Their powerful performances bring heart and depth to this visually captivating fantasy tale.
Blending stunning cinematography with handcrafted visual effects, The Legend of Ochi is a moving film for audiences of all ages.
