Story

“Medieval times from a little bit different angle”

The castle and the fortress loom defiantly in close neighbourhood, surrounded by a deep forest. A rather peaceful living is disturbed by an unexpected event. Martin, a virtuous knight and a caring father of five children, is denounced for witchcraft and pillaging. He departs for the royal court to defend his honour, leaving the fortress in the hands of his eldest son Peter and his siblings. Nobody suspects at this time the deceitful lord from the neighbouring castle wants to take possession of their fortress. … He is the Lord Albrecht the Bloody Nose. He callously follows his plans and it is obvious from the very beginning that he is going to have no scruples about anything. The carefree childhood is suddenly gone and the children’s lives soon turn into adventure with unexpected twists. Soon it becomes clear that this is going to be a life-and-death battle. A bunch of footpads capable of anything enters the story and they are the ones who bring a fair amount of humour, apart from the thrilling moments. The characters of the movie speak a modern language and they are also thinking in a modern way. But the circumstances they have to face substantially differ from those we see at present days and they can only be overcome with common efforts.  

Apart from the adventure, love and friendship are not omitted in the story.

This dynamic tale full of intriguing plots, chase scenes and combats can speak not only to children, but  those who like stories full of life and humanity.
