Spoilers ahead

In ancient Russia, a simple man named Emelya the Fool, the son of a blind blacksmith, lives a modest, unassuming life and spends his days wandering near rivers and streams, chasing a quiet slice of luck. Emelya Nikita Kologrivyy is more than a rustic folk hero; he possesses a charm and a stubborn streak that keep him one step ahead of trouble, even when fate seems to wheel him toward it. One day, while out fishing, he pulls from an icy hole a remarkable Magic Pike, a creature bound to a distant, submerged world and sought after by the underground Water King, Vodovik Egor Bakulin. The Pike, with a voice of water and wind, promises to grant three wishes in exchange for its freedom.
