The story takes place in early 13th century in the midst of Northern Crusades. Protagonist merchant Lars comes from the lands who have long adopted Christianity and travels to the last pagan populated areas in Europe to trade with local Baltic tribes and is being drawn in a lot of unexpected events.
The whole story is narrated by the Lars point of view and there isn't any single dialogue in the whole movie. During his journey the story is enriched with the historical facts of that period of time as we know it of local tribe lifestyle and traditions. Despite the fact that there wasn't much of an acting, the actors still did a good job and it didn't ruin the whole picture.
This whole concept very intrigued me because there was left a huge blank space which was filled with a great cinematography which served as a great foundation for this movie to really succeed and between all that the beautiful animations added more artistic value to this gem.
This movie is nor action, nor adventure movie or another blood driven viking flick but beautifully told story filled with historical facts as we know it today to visualize the early 13th century Baltic tribe lands.
If you're interested in history or you like a beautiful cinematography and want to please your eyes give this movie a try.
