The famous musical based on Kazis Boruta's novel Whitehorn's windmill. In paradise, after the Lord has fallen asleep, the angels begin to feast, dance and create an orgy. The Almighty, coming to his senses, casts out the rebels with lightning bolts. One of them, Pinčiukas, is demoted to a devil, and ends up in the cottage of the old miller Whitehorn. The man and the Wicked One strike a bargain: the wings of the mill will turn even without wind, the coveted Marcele will move in, but something, that Whitehorn does not yet have, will go to the devil. Baltaragis was not sorry for what he didn't know he had, but when his daughter is born, the wicked devil is quick to remind him of the deal.
