SHOW

Overview

This elegant and exciting 3-part series evokes the time of the knights in a unique and intimate rollercoaster ride of individual lives set in the wider context of medieval Europe. They live brutal lives, glorified by tales of chivalry and courtly love that have left us with a skewed idea of knighthood.
