One day, his horse ran away but the next day it actually came back with another horse, even more beautiful. Kinko went on a ride on the new horse, but fell down and broke his leg. He could not walk for several months. At that time, a war started and all the young men of the village were drafted in and many of them lost their lives on the front.

The Arcadian atmosphere of a hazy underworld hosts unusual characters: an Illusionist, a Civil Entity, a Wooden Puppet and a silent, but dangerous Swordsmen. Their mysterious experiences are an allegory of the relationship between the now extinct tradition of European combat swordsmanship and the doctrine of pragmatic political action. Is the end of the allegory also a beginning of an instructive misunderstanding? The film is inspired by the motifs from the books Flower of Battle (1410) by Fiore dei Liberi and A Dialogue in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesquieu (1864) by Maurice Joly.
The film tells a story about dualism, about the man’s nature of destroying everything around him, as well as his desire for immortality. The puppet on a bike performs the theatre play Faustus in which a man sells his soul to the devil.
