action
Princess Athalia is to be married at the request of her father, the king. During the preparations for the wedding, however, the court society received the news that the king had been slain while riding in a fight with enemy knights. The cruel and domineering Arkanis is appointed as his successor.
To complete the coronation of the king and to exercise royal power, however, a holy, magical scepter is required, which is located in a cellar vault of the castle under a magical protective shield , which can only be dissolved by a certain spell . The formula for this spell is only known to Princess Athalia, but she insists on proof of the death of her father and refuses to give Arkanis any information. She is then imprisoned, but is able to escape with the help of Arkanis' daughter Tamis.
Athalia joins two women warriors in a revolt against Arkanis, inspired by the desire to abolish tyranny, avenge her father and free the people.
background
The shooting took place in Mexico.
