Tyll Ulenspiegel grows up early in the seventeenth century in a village mill. His father dabbles in magic and studies nature, which soon sets the Church against him, and the boy has to run, taking Nele, a baker's girl, with him. Crossing a country wrecked by religious war, they come upon common folk and some of the era's most powerful figures: an epic of the Thirty Years' War.
