In the seventeenth century, a 14-year-old orphan named Krabat flees the horrors of the Thirty Years War by becoming an apprentice to the ominous master of a mysterious mill. One of 12 young men working for the miller, Krabat is not only taught the craft of milling but is also initiated into a sinister world of dark arts. When the life of his friend and protector becomes threatened, Krabat must struggle to free himself from an evil sorcerer’s control in a gripping fight for freedom, friendship and love.
“Krabat” is a dark yet uplifting fantasy based on Otfried Preussler´s novel of the same name, a best-seller that has sold over 1.8 million copies worldwide and translated into more than 30 languages.
“It is a dark yet universal story, calling for powerful visual images. It is a profound and, at the same time, entertaining story”, – says director Marco Kreuzpaintner.
Marco Kreuzpaintner born in 1977. First came to the public’s attention through his 12-minute short “Entering Reality”. In 2003 Marco Kreuzpaintner made his big-screen debut with “Breaking Loose”. He gathered international attention shortly afterwards with his award winning coming-of-age drama “Summer Storm” (2004). Kreuzpaintner’s extraordinary talent was also recognized by director Roland Emmerich who engaged him for his project “Trade”. “Krabat” is his latest film.
