Official trailer for the film
After the death of his father and the destruction of his village at the hands of British raiders, Einar longs for a peaceful life with his family on their newly rebuilt farm. However, fate had other plans: his village was invaded again. Einar watched helplessly as the plundering Danes burned his lands and slaughtered his family. The invaders captured Einar and brought him back to Denmark as a slave.
Einar clung to his mother's last words to survive. He is bought by Ketil, a kind-hearted slave owner and landowner who promises that Einar can regain his freedom in exchange for work in the fields. Soon, Einar meets his new partner in the farming business—Thorfinn, a depressed and melancholy slave. As Einar and Thorfinn work together towards freedom, they are haunted by the sins of the past and the intrigues of the present. Yet they move on, embracing a glimmer of hope, redemption, and peace in a world that is nothing but injustice and unforgivable.
