Dear film fans and film producers,
the screenplay for "Christina of Eibingen and the Grail of the Teutonic Order" is now available entirely in English. This historical drama and medieval crime thriller is also an unusual love story. It joins the ranks of scripts like the visually stunning successes "Excalibur" and "Hagen – in the Valley of the Nibelungs," as well as "The Name of the Rose." I am looking for a producer for this project. Further information is available on my LinkedIn account and on my website www.screencreater.de. Interested parties can also contact me directly at rubycon@mail.de. See you soon…

SYNOPSIS:

Storyline:
Anno Domini 1312. After the Templar Order was banned by King Philip the Fair, many Templars sought refuge in Malbork, the headquarters of the Teutonic Order. There, a dark trail of mysterious symbols also leads to the greatest secret of Christendom – the Holy Grail.
The Benedictine legate, Christina Maria of Eibingen, a former student of Hildegard of Bingen and a graduate of the Studium Universalis in Bologna, is tasked with finding the Holy Grail in Malbork, where it is kept hidden and protected by an aura of myths and legends.
Christina is accompanied by Heinrich von Salem, a ruthless crusader who suffers from the knowledge that with the loss of the Holy Land, the crusading orders are doomed to a slow decline. Heinrich is responsible for protecting Christina’s life, enabling her to fulfill her mission in the harsh world of the crusaders, where a human life counts for little.
However, a conflict quickly arises. Christina abhors violence, and it is only when she suggests that Heinrich fight with his intellect rather than his sword - an entirely new experience for him - that their relationship begins to thaw. Gradually, they develop a deep bond that evolves from suppressed passion to insatiable desire, culminating in a confessed but forbidden love.
Their adversaries are the ruthless and dangerous knights of a secret brotherhood within the Teutonic Order known as Sangraal, led by the powerful Cistercian abbess, Anna-Carina de Troyes.
Against all odds, Christina prevails. She must solve riddles, recognize traps and deceptions, thwart intrigues, and fear assassination attempts.
Ultimately, Christina finds the Holy Grail, which turns out to be far different from what Christians had imagined. She makes a momentous decision to save Christendom from impending doom.
Intention:
At the heart of the story lies a relic and the question: could the Holy Grail (also known as San Gral, San Graal, Sang Raal, Sang Réal and Sangraal) actually be the Shroud of Turin? While this may initially seem far-fetched, it has been meticulously researched and woven into a gripping narrative, crafted for a visually stunning cinematic experience.
The story's dramatic arc is set within a historically accurate backdrop involving the three great crusading orders – the Templars, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Teutonic Knights. Much of what is depicted corresponds to historical facts.
