- Synopsis:
Mozart's classic opera The Magic Flute is breathtakingly transformed in a spectacular new film version conceived and directed by Kenneth Branagh with a newly adapted libretto by Stephen Fry. On the eve of the First World War a magical drama unfolds as Timino sets forth on a perilous journey in pursuit of love, light and peace in a world afflicted by darkness, death and destruction. An eerie quiet descends over a landscape still untouched by conflict as Timino waits anxiously with his fellow recruits for the command to go into battle. What ensues is a spectacular musical adventure in which the blossoming love between Timino and Pamina, the beautiful daughter of the Queen of the Night, may help determine the fate of a nation and the destiny of millions. - Actors:
