The early Middle Ages. A knight named Willibrord (brilliantly played by Krzysztof Pieczyński), reaches the shores of the last pagan enclave after miraculously cheating death. This no-nonsense, battle-tested warrior owes his life to Nameless—an idealistic boy who hides his true identity from the world. In spite of differences in their worldviews, the men become travelling companions, brought together by a common goal: to find and christen a pagan hamlet hidden in the mountains. Although the conversion of the villagers to Christianity is the only way to protect them from impending doom, the two friends are met with resistance. But in the final stronghold of “old faith”, Willibrord and Nameless find an unlikely ally. An unavoidable confrontation of love and hate, diplomacy and violence, madness and morality awaits. In Bartosz Konopka’s film, a project many years in the making, we see the inspiration drawn from master storytellers like Roland Joffé, Nicolas Winding Refn and Werner Herzog. The narrative, full of powerful symbolism and staged with swaggering style, is worthy of attention and acclaim—especially since this kind of cinema is virtually non-existent in Poland.
