Set 200 years after the events of the comic book series, the story begins in the far lands of the North, near Nosvaldy,now ruled by the Dragonphoenix Empire, which also controls most of the world of Elebros. There, we meet Dragar, a Barbarian who has been captured by the slave trader Flavius for 4 years and forced to participate in brutal pit fights for coin and glory. Fate brings Dragar near his homeland once more, as Flavius leads him and other pit fighters to the Villa of the Imperial General Akilonius, to participate in games, thus honoring the birthday of the General's daughter, the spoiled Valeria. Dragar's thoughts are always with his wife, Brenna, which he hasn't seen for 4 long years. A chance presents itself to Dragar and he manages to escape the Villa, taking Valeria, the general's daughter as hostage, in order to gain safe passage to his homeland. Furious for his daughter's abduction, Akilonius hires a strange bounty hunter, Falco , and his band of mercenaries, in order to track down Dragar and Valeria. And the hunt begins...Dragar will do anything in order to get back to his wife, and won't bow to anyone. His path will be paved with many dangers and surprises...but he..is Indomitable.
Director's Statement
First of all, we have always been fans of the sword & sorcery and the fantasy genre, it΄s a genre we grew up with and we love it and respect it. This is going to be the First Sword and Sorcery Film based on a greek comic book that has ever been produced here in Greece. Here, Greek films are mostly comedies and dramas. Nothing else. Not even action flicks, not to mention something as ambitious as a fantasy film. We love to tell stories, and we believe that this is a story worth telling and sharing with the rest of the world.
We represent a new breed of greek filmmakers,with love and passion for what we do and with dreams and a vision to add a different and at the same time fresh touch to our industry. With our previous work we have proved that a good film doesn΄t require a lot of money in order to be made,and our wish is not to gain something out of all this, but just to cover our expenses and make our dream and vision a reality. As the director of the film, i can tell you this; It΄s all about the characters, their relationships, the atmosphere and the story itself ,which i find very interesting. Therefore, we will not use any CGI, we will have practical effects and practical effects only, and will emphasize on the landscapes, the characters, and the story itself, in a kind of old school approach. We have been Independent Filmmakers since 2005, and we keep learning something new every day, but still, we believe that we know how to use the new technology to our advantage. We have our own equipment, which is growing and being upgraded frequently. The film will be shot in Greek,with English subtitles. Our goal is to shoot the film, put all our love and our being into it, and make something to be proud of. After the post-production stage is over, we will approach distribution companies, with the hope that the film will find its way to the cinemas (or dvd in the worst case scenario), both in Greece and abroad of course!
