A historical film with balladic features set in 1348, when Europe was struggling with the greatest plague epidemic to date. The film strives to portray the Middle Ages as authentically as possible and to create a specific symbolic space in which ideas, dreams, and cultural archetypes are as tangible as beings and objects.
