Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
Zhenya suffers from still being in in love with Cyril, her husband, who has left her, so she decides to bring him back. In her desperation, she casts a spell called "Black Wedding", a magical ritual known for its great power and irreversibility. After the ritual, her beloved husband comes back to her, although his love becomes a deadly obsession: he is even eager to kill Zhenya, so as not to share her with anyone. When the maddened Cyril dies in an accident, the spell does not stop: because even death will not part those who were betrothed by the demon of the ritual.
