Arn Magnusson (Joakim Nätterqvist) is born in 1150, in Western Sweden. He grows up to become an educated young man and a skilled warrior, and meets Cecilia (Sofia Helin), the love of his life. Then a cruel and jealous world forces them apart. Cecilia is imprisoned in a monastery. Arn is sent to the Holy Land as a Knight Templar, where war is raging between Christians and Muslims. Arn and Cecilia both have to struggle to survive, to learn how to confront evil and overcome physical hardship. Their painful separation causes their faith in God to waver - though not their faith in each other, and their conviction that they will one day be reunited. When Arn returns home, he has to fight for his love and what has become his mission: to unite Sweden into one Kingdom. (Eagle Entertainment)

The most expensive Swedish film ever made. That’s quite appealing, isn’t it? That’s also why I was quite looking forward to watching this film and happy that it finally happened. I liked the medieval atmosphere. The story had its charm and both the war atmosphere and the relationship tangles blended beautifully. It all fit together nicely, and even though some events might have been changed to fit the film better, I’m glad that I could be, at least in film, part of Swedish history and learn a little more about it. At least I learned who Arn was.
