Full of enthusiasm, prince Siegfried and his friend Wolfhart set out to seek adventures that would make them heroes. But soon, Siegfried faces a test of courage: he loses his best friend and is supposed to become the king of the Nibelungs, the bravest knights of his time.



With the Nibelung crown, a magic sword and made invulnerable with dragon’s blood, Siegfried decides to brave yet another adventure of a different kind. He conquers the heart of the beautiful Kriemhild, and also helps her brother to the woman of his dreams.



They all would live happily ever after, if it weren’t for evil Hagen of Tronje. Jealousy and unfulfilled love have him conspire a brutal plan that costs Siegfried his life. But he did not consider Kriemhild, who dedicates her life to bitter revenge.
