a fairy tale fantasy film wherein an aging alchemist must revaluate his life of solitude when he recieves a surprise visit from an old friend...
The village of Willowshade is deserted, save for one small cottage. Here lives Claudius, an aging doctor and renowned alchemist, in the old Apothecary. He is solitary, save for a small, ancient Drake (male dragon) named Maurice, and the well-kept grave of his late wife, Kristanna. One day, Claudius receives a surprise visit from his oldest companion, the opulent artisan Arcadius. Though pleased to see his friend, his presence soon leads Claudius to begin questioning the morality of his solitary existence in such a troubled time. However, Arcadius' connection to the tyranical Raven King proves problematic when it is revealed that his seemingly foolish actions could have far reaching consequences, for himself and Claudius alike. Claudius must choose between honouring his old friend or continuing his endeavour to preserve both his village and his memories.
