A film made by the master of Czechoslovak animation Karel Zeman in late 1970’s is based on an old Sorbian story, which reoccurs in many cultures and can be in fact traced back to ancient times. Simply put, the theme is about a conflict between good and evil, between white and black magic and their powers. “Sorbs”, by the way, are a Slavic ethnic group living around Polish/German border.
A poor kid named Krabat ends up at an enchanted mill run by an evil one-eyed wizard, with a staff of boys. Every year the wizard challenges the oldest to a duel and beats him. But Krabat has found a reason to live, he found a girl whose love can free him from the powers of evil.
