Restored master from the original negative

The gods have declared the drought of the country. There seems to be no hope. A holy man summoned by the king requires the sacrifice of a young woman to put an end to their anger. A young man in love decides to go in search of water to save the girl from a tragic end. But when he returned with good news, it's too late. The genie had his satisfaction and Toula has already disappeared in the holy swamp.
