Synopsis

A young boy in a remote medieval outpost under siege from barbarian raids is beckoned to adventure when a celebrated master illuminator arrives with an ancient book, brimming with secret wisdom and powers.

Our take

Telling the tale of the creation of the Book of Kells—a manuscript created in medieval Ireland—this acclaimed animation draws from Irish history, Celtic mythology, and the book’s illustrations to enchanting and enlightening effect. For adults and children alike, and featuring Brendan Gleeson!
