A fantastic adaptation of one of the most famous fairy tales in early 14th century English literature, it retells the story of Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight.
Plot
The noble knight of the Round Table, Sir Gawain, is loyal to King Arthur. Once the Green Knight invites anyone to strike him, provided that in a year and one day he will receive a response. Sir Gawaine was the only one who accepted the challenge. With the first blow, he decapitates the Green Knight. But the enemy calmly raises an obviously not very vital part of the body and reminds that now Gawain must wait a year and one day to receive a retaliatory blow.
Now Sir Gawaine will have to solve the difficult riddle of his mysterious opponent or say goodbye to life.
