The Shamer's daughter, Dina, has unwillingly inherited her mother's supernatural ability. She can look straight into the soul of other people, making them feel ashamed of themselves. When the sole heir to the throne is wrongfully accused of the horrible murders of his family, Dina's mother is lured to Dunark under false pretenses to make him confess. Neglecting to use her ability for the wrong purposes, she is taken prisoner. It is now up to Dina to uncover the truth of the murders, but soon she finds herself whirled into a dangerous power struggle with her own life at risk. In a semi realistic medieval fantasy world with Dragons and Witchcraft, Dina and her family are thrown into the adventure of a lifetime in order to put the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Dunark on the Throne.

I have to admit that the end of the film, which takes place in Bohemian Switzerland, made me quite teary-eyed. Otherwise it is just a regular TV-like flick, where you expect an epic fantasy but instead of that you get a film on the level of an average Czech fairy tale which Czech Television pushes into the world every year during the Christmas holidays.

I was expecting a bit more based on the reviews, but not many films are made from that period, so a cautious thumbs up. The most impressive thing is the young lead actress, who has the ability to look into the human soul, which makes room for some interesting dialogues, and they work decently too. There could have been more action, but I had fun. 65%
