The Golden Horns, also known in English as Baba Yaga, is a 1973 Soviet fairy tale film. It was director Alexander Rou's last film before his death later in 1973.

Plot

In the forest lives a magnificent deer with golden antlers, who protects the poor and the weak, but prefers to avoid the evil. In the village near the forest lives the widow Yevdokia (Raisa Ryazanova) with her twins Maschenka (Ira Tchigrinova) and Daschenka (Lena Tchigrinova), their big brother Kiryushka (Volodya Belov) and the ancient grandfather. One day, while mushrooming, the twins see the stag as it is being hunted down by robbers. A short time later, despite their mother's prohibition, they decide to go deeper into the forest (to the birch grove at the swamp) to find even more mushrooms. Forest spirits lure them even deeper into the forest until they find the "king's mushroom" that they simply want to take along. The witch Baba Yaga (Georgiy Millyar) finds them and is angry about their behavior — she transforms them into deer fawns with a magic spell.
