Sinopsis:

The castle and the fortress loom defiantly in close neighbourhood, surrounded by a deep forest. A rather peaceful living is disturbed by an unexpected event. Martin, a virtuous knight and a caring father of five children, is denounced for witchcraft and plundering expeditions. And so he departs for the royal court to defend his honour, leaving the fortress in the hands of his eldest son Peter and his siblings. He does not have the faintest idea that the denunciation was the work of his envious, greedy and totally despicable neighbour Albrecht who wants to take possession of the land. It seems the evil is close to victory. Will the kids succeed in gaining victory over a much stronger enemy? We will untwine this secret along with the heroes in a story full of alchemy, knights and catapults.
