When a young prince discovers his father slain by their enemy, he leaves the kingdom to avenge the murder. His epic journey finds him confronting devastating truths about his past and he forces him to face an uncertain future. Klarlund’s impressive film acknowledges his characters are marionettes, with the strings populating the skies over this mythical land. It’s a clever plot device that works wonders in this impressive, dark and uncompromising fantasy, where losing your head string means losing your life.
