The story introduces a setting filled with quirky characters, primarily students from a seminary in Kiev, as they navigate everyday life, with humor and the supernatural blending seamlessly into their experiences.   At the start of the tale, a bell rings, marking the beginning of a school day at a seminary in Kiev, and students flood the streets, showcasing their distinct personalities and chaotic interactions. The narrative captures the camaraderie and mischief of the students—grammar school boys engaging in playful disputes, while their philosophical counterparts engage in intellectual discussions. This lively atmosphere sets the stage for the arrival of a trio of seminary students—teologist Haljava, philosopher Homa Brut, and retor Tiberi Gorobets—who find themselves lost in the countryside, leading to a series of comedic misadventures involving mystical encounters and the eerie presence of a witch. The opening portion establishes a mixture of humor, character dynamics, and Gothic elements, hinting at deeper themes intertwined with folklore and society.
