The Ash Lad - In Search of the Golden Castle

The fantasy fairy tale Journey to the Living Water is a loose continuation of the previous film Journey to the Troll King, in which we first met the kind-hearted Espen, his two brothers, and the beautiful and brave princess Kristin. Espen's new adventure begins rather unhappily. Kristin's parents, King Eric and Queen Victoria, are poisoned and Espen's two brothers are falsely accused of this terrible act. The two unfortunates are immediately thrown into the deepest prison awaiting execution. But it wouldn't be Espen if he didn't find a clever and cunning way to resolve the situation! He convinces Princess Kristin to go with him in search of the mythical castle of Soria Moria, which is said to be built entirely of pure gold. Here, according to ancient legends, lies a spring of miraculous living water, and with its help Espen wants to save the lives of the king and queen and his brothers. But does such a castle even exist? Isn't it just a myth? And is there living water in it? Isn't it all just Espen's invention and a trick to distract and delay his brothers' execution? Maybe it is. But there's a grain of truth to every tale, and so Kristin and Espen embark on a perilous journey of magic, adventure, love, and danger. They must act fast, for on their heels are a band of treacherous Danes who hate their kingdom more than anything and want to stop Espen and Kristin at any cost. If Espen and Kristin fail, it will spell the end not only for the brothers and the kingdom, but perhaps for the whole world!
