Three army deserters hide in old castle that has fallen to ruin. Inside they find a hospitably laid table and three totally veiled girls, who tell the men that they can stay at the castle in safety and comfort if they fulfill a single task. They are to spend the night with the girls without touching them, without lifting even a tip of their veils. This seemingly simple task is fulfilled by only one man, Jakub. In reward he is given a falcon feather which has the power of three lives. Jakub sets forth on his wanderings with this precious gift – how he uses it, is now up to him alone.
