== Plot ==

The evil sorcerer Black Whirlwind kidnaps the flock of a young shepherd boy, Andriesh, along with his beloved talking sheep, Miora, and his loyal dog, Lupar.

Heartbroken, Andriesh embarks on a journey to rescue them. He receives a magical flute as a gift from the warrior Vainovan, which is meant to guide him to the castle of Black Whirlwind, who despises all living things.

On his perilous journey, the fearless Andriesh encounters many oppressed people suffering under Black Whirlwind's tyranny and lends his help to them. Though dangers and enemies lurk at every turn, he also finds allies along the way.

In the film's climax, Black Whirlwind is defeated and turned into a black stone, restoring peace and harmony to the land.
