Central Europe, early 16th century: two childhood friends, Martin & Georg, find themselves on rival sides of a religious war with both of them struggling to do the right thing.

VIBE

A brutal, morally complex historical epic. It feels like a weighty, grounded war drama where the personal stakes are as high as the political ones. The action is visceral and the atmosphere is heavy with impending doom.
