In the 16th century, horse dealer Michael Kohlhaas leads a happy and prosperous family life. When a lord treats him unjustly, this upstanding man raises an army and puts the country to fire and sword in order to have his rights restored. In the 16th century, with the age of feudalism in decline, Europe rests at a tense crossroads between the old world and the new. Respected, well-to-do horse merchant Michael Kohlhaas is a loving husband and family man leading a peaceful existence, until a ruthless nobleman steals his horses, setting off a chain of irreversible events. Kohlhaas resorts to extremes after these crimes destroy his livelihood and trust in the law, igniting a rampage through the countryside in his quest for justice. (official distributor synopsis)
