In many once-upon-a-time fairy-tales it's like this: an evil wizard kidnaps a princess and the hero has to complete three tasks to save her...The characters are typically fairy-tale-like, yet they have a lot in common with the people of today. An ambitious knight has planned out his son's entire life and constantly has the need to tell him what to do. He even takes him out into the world where he looks out for him. The son would rather read books or paint, but all his father knows are weapons and fighting. But circumstances force them to reconsider their attitudes: the knight learns that not everything can be solved with a sword, and his son realizes that evil must be fought. The love of a beautiful princess and half of a kingdom is then his legitimate reward.
