Plot

While she fights a heroic battle against the Spanish besieger with her female army, Kenau, driven by hate and sorrow of the execution of her youngest daughter, is threatened to also lose her eldest daughter, because her fear and pain are covered by her stubborn closeness.

Sinekatalog’s take

A grieving mother leads a female militia against a Spanish siege. The Dutch historical adventure is stirring and grim, with a proud heroine at its core. Decent spectacle for fans of costume action and women-led history.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
