The early Middle Ages; the 10th century. The monk Ekkehard lives secluded in the monastery of St. Gallen. Everything changes for him when the Duchess widow Hadwiga appears to him and the intelligent monk asks for a favor. She can convince the abbot to make Ekkehard work as a Latin teacher in her castle. Thus the young monk begins a new life and suddenly the young man, who always lived in seclusion, is confronted with the medieval outside world: war, hatred, poverty and disease that affect everyday life. Painful for him is that the Christian doctrine of salvation comes into conflict with the pagan elementary forces. The great challenge that awaits the young monk, however, is when he falls in love with the beautiful Countess Hadwiga herself .
