François le Vaillant/Francesc Lo Valent

Description

At the head of a powerful army, the Black Knight spreads terror and desolation in his path. One humble knight--François le Vaillant--will try to defeat the dark conqueror with the help of a handful of survivors. A denunciation of tyranny, in dazzling animation. A film without words.
