"A magical adventure unlike anything we’ve seen on screen before." – Claudia Puig, USA Today
Magic, fantasy and Celtic mythology combine with dazzling animation in this sweeping story about the power of imagination and faith to carry humanity through dark times.
In medieval Ireland, young Brendan embarks on a new life of adventure when a celebrated master illuminator arrives from foreign lands carrying a book brimming with secret wisdom and powers. To help complete the book, Brendan embarks on a dangerous quest that takes him deep into the enchanted forest, where he meets Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl, who helps him along the way. But with barbarians closing in, will Brendan/s determination and artistic vision illuminate the darkness, and show that enlightenment is the best fortification against evil?
