The Storyteller (1988)

S1E1 The Soldier and Death

After coming back from the battlefield, a young soldier exchanges his final biscuit for an enchanted sack that can hold anything he wishes to summon. With this newfound power, he captures devils and even death, bringing tranquility to his homeland. However, he soon discovers that controlling death is a far more formidable challenge than he anticipated! This tale draws inspiration from an old Russian folk story.
