“A hero's honor is the final wall against an empire's wrath.”
As the Ottoman Empire's shadow stretches across 17th-century Poland, the legendary "Little Knight" Pan Michael is called back from seclusion to lead a desperate defense of the frontier. This sweeping epic of duty and sacrifice captures the final stand of a hero who would rather perish in fire than see his homeland fall.
