Die Gänsemagd

In the idyllic yet tumultuous countryside of medieval Europe, “Die Gänsemagd” tells the tale of Elara, a headstrong young woman who finds strength and resilience in the most unexpected circumstances. Orphaned at a young age, Elara is taken in by a kind-hearted widow who teaches her the art of caring for geese. As the widow’s sole protection against an encroaching village rivalry, Elara develops not only a deep bond with the gentle birds but also a fierce spirit of independence.

A fierce drought strikes the region, heightening tensions between rival villages and leaving Elara’s home under threat from resource scarcity.

However, dangers lurk on the horizon. The village lord, threatened by Elara’s growing influence, concocts a scheme to sabotage her efforts and restore his family’s iron grip on the region.
