Baldr. Threads of Fate

Genre DramaMysticismAdventureFantasy

Category Full-length

The plot is based on the Norse myth of the god Baldr (Sergey Udovikov), son of the great Odin. Rather than a retelling of an ancient tale, it offers a contemporary perspective on the myths regarding the rebirth of the gods.

The gripping story begins when three young men discover the ancient grave of an unknown warrior in a forest. They attempt to unearth the burial site using incantations to resurrect him. However, their efforts prove futile—the earth holds the warrior firmly, refusing to let his peace be disturbed. Seeking answers, the youths set out to consult a mysterious and powerful enchantress.

Upon meeting them, the seer immediately realizes the truth: the soul of one of the young men once belonged to the warrior resting in that grave—her own son. Killed by a lover's betrayal and consumed by a thirst for revenge, the enchantress's son defied the laws of the Universe to be reborn as a mortal.

Baldr’s father, Hjarvard (Ragday Oleksandr Tymofieiev), strives to raise him as a true warrior. He teaches his son life principles and the art of weaponry, preparing him for the great battles approaching in Midgard. Hjarvard is convinced that magic is a pursuit for women, believing a real man must rely on strength, courage, and combat mastery rather than spells.

But as the past begins to stir, the boundaries between the worlds of men and gods blur, and forgotten oaths once again demand retribution. Baldr must face a choice: follow the path laid out by his father or embrace his true nature to finish what was started and restore balance to Midgard—even if it means challenging the gods themselves.
