After saving an infant of royal blood, knight Brancaleone forms a new army and sets out to return the baby to his father: a prince fighting in the Crusades.

VIBE

A boisterous, anachronistic romp through medieval absurdity. Expect slapstick, crude humor, and a surprisingly earnest, if misguided, quest. It's a chaotic, often hilarious, and uniquely Italian take on historical adventure.
