Der Herrscher von Edessa
Baldwin of Boulogne, brother to Godfrey of Bouillon, arrives in Edessa in the wake of the First Crusade. The city, now under his rule, becomes a stage for conflict against not only external foes but also internal scheming. Baldwin must navigate between the local Armenian nobility, Byzantine ambitions, and his own knights hungry for spoils. His reign is a constant tightrope walk between cruelty and compassion, between the duty of a Christian ruler and political expediency in the very heart of the 12th-century Near East.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film presents the Crusades from a fresh angle—not through battles, but through the governance of conquered lands. It's a story about the burden of power and the isolation of a ruler torn from his familiar world.
What lingers after the credits is a sense of the fragile, exhausting reality behind the founding of crusader states, far from legendary glory. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Tim Trachte

Dusty streets, heavy robes of nobility, a persistent sense of vigilance in a foreign land.
