00:00I won't ask again, where is your son? In good hands.
00:13Where are we going? Come on, just run as fast as you can!
00:18Amicia Darun and her young brother Hugo set out on a poetic and harrowing journey
00:23deep into the dark heart of the plague-ridden, war-torn kingdom of France.
00:28Following an unspeakable tragedy, the siblings are forced to abandon their home.
00:34Can't jump with me! Jump!
00:38Pursued by the relentless Inquisition and unending swarms of ravenous rats.
00:45Is anyone there?
00:46Thrust into a brutal new reality, they will confront dangers no child should ever face.
00:53Meanwhile, Hugo is afflicted by a mysterious sickness.
00:58Driving Amicia to hunt for a cure.
01:02She must do whatever it takes to protect her little brother.
01:05And survive in this harsh and hostile world.
01:10Though bold, Amicia is just a child and direct confrontation with her foes is futile.
01:16Instead, she will need to use her wits and ingenuity to best the threats that pave her journey.
01:23I just want to leave!
01:24I... I didn't want to!
01:26Amicia!
01:28Amicia!
01:28Hugo is far from just a burden.
01:32His innocence and naivety are offset by his courage.
01:35And he will prove vital in working with Amicia to overcome the obstacles ahead.
01:40Balancing light with darkness is critical to their survival.
01:45In some cases, Amicia will use this to her own grisly advantage.
01:52Though inescapable in their new reality, death is still unfamiliar to the two children.
01:59And the piling bodies are sure to have an impact on both their young minds.
02:04Do you think we are hurting them?
02:06Through their journey, they will meet those trained in the art of alchemy.
02:11Who will offer alternative ways to overcome foes, or open new paths.
02:17It will protect you, and it's pretty too.
02:19Oh.
02:20Alright.
02:21Now we can go.
02:22Thank you, Hugo.
02:23Both the plague and the Hundred Years War with England have brought suffering to the lives of
02:28all in this decaying kingdom.
02:31And over time, the siblings will meet others in similarly dire circumstances.
02:37These dark times mean they aren't the only ones forced to adapt, developing vital skills
02:42to survive an uncaring world.
02:45And Amicia and Hugo will need all the help they can get.
