Set in the Middle Ages Arn (Joakim Nätterqvist), the son of a Swedish nobleman, must journey to the Holy Land on horseback as a sentence for falling in love with a forbidden romantic partner, Cecilia (Sofia Helin), who in turn, is banished to spend the rest of her days in a convent. The harsh voyage carries Arn through the heart of the medieval world and into the core of brutal and bloody Crusades. Both he and Cecilia must learn to fight to survive, to confront evil and overcome tremendous suffering and misery, guided by the faith that one day they will be reunited. Arn returns home to fight for his love and his life s mission: to unite Sweden into one kingdom. With an esteemed all-star cast, this epic adventure blends thrilling factual and fictional characters to offer up brave knights, powerful queens and treacherous kings in a tale of war, intrigue, friendship and betrayal.

The most expensive Swedish film ever made. That’s quite appealing, isn’t it? That’s also why I was quite looking forward to watching this film and happy that it finally happened. I liked the medieval atmosphere. The story had its charm and both the war atmosphere and the relationship tangles blended beautifully. It all fit together nicely, and even though some events might have been changed to fit the film better, I’m glad that I could be, at least in film, part of Swedish history and learn a little more about it. At least I learned who Arn was.
