Plot: The story of time-tested loyalty of two friends during Europe's 16th-century Inquisition. Orphans Martin and Georg bond as children, but walk very different paths as adults. Georg follows his calling to join the church, while Martin becomes an army captain. When fate places Martin in the role of executioner, he must choose between friendship and fundamentalist doctrine.
Alternative Plot: In 16th-century Europe, an army captain (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) must choose between duty and friendship when he's asked to execute a man (Peter McDonald) he has known since childhood.
