A poetic story about courage and coming of age.
For viewers aged 11 and older.

Dreams lure Krabat to the mill in Koselbruch, which everyone warns against because it is not quite right there. Upon his arrival, the eerie master of the mill takes him on as the twelfth apprentice and promises him an easy and beautiful life. Krabat only later realizes that in the mill, not only grain is ground, but the master also teaches his apprentices in dark arts. Eagerly, he learns from the miller master the secrets of black magic and is fascinated by the power he gains over others with it. But the price for this is high. As miller boys keep mysteriously dying, Krabat finds himself deeply entangled in a web of dependency and seduction. To free himself from it, he must make a difficult and far-reaching decision.

Otfried Preußler tells in this classic of youth literature about the seductive powers of power and magic, about loss and betrayal, about courage and one's own responsibility in an authoritarian system. A fairy tale about gaining trust in one's own strength – and thereby the possibility of being free.
