The Black Monk

When Andrey Korvin returns to the home he grew up in, his former guardian Yegor welcomes him with enthusiasm, excited to share his life's work-his expansive garden-with his former ward. Korvin soon begins courting Yegor's daughter, Tanya, and with Yegor's blessing, the couple marry. But Korvin has also begun receiving regular visits from a Black Monk whom he knows exists only in his mind. At once, the marriage, which once seemed ideal, begins to suffer as the Black Monk appears more and more often.
