A striking animation feature co-produced by Luxembourg. Antis is a 16 year old boy considered by his elder brothers to be soft in the heart and slow in the mind. Despite their ridicule, Antis is deeply committed to bringing the beautiful Princess down from the Glass Mountain where she is kept in a glass coffin by the Black Mother. He is helped and guided on his journey by the White Father, a sworn enemy of the Black Mother. The White Father recognizes the goodness of Antis' heart and encourages him to fight for the Princess' life. It seems an impossible mission as the struggle involves fighting against Antis' greedy and nasty brothers, the ruthless Cruel Prince and the smart and evil Black Mother herself. The open–hearted and brave Antis is not discouraged and through hardship and various tests reaches his goal – saving the beautiful Princess and the entire kingdom from the Black Mother's destructive powers.
