A medieval love story with lots of adventures. Times are troubled – there’s a revolt of peasants going on. To secure its safety, a monastery chases for the relics of a holy Brigitte. A nobleman promises to get it if he gets beautiful Agnes as a reward, but she falls in love with a handsome adventurer. The monastery has to act shrewd now and play double game. —IMDb
