A love greater than death. It is a privilege to be educated in a monastery as the son of an unfree feudal lord. Hartmann von Aue appreciates this. When the young man falls in love with the neighbour's daughter Judith, he learns to play the harp only to sing a song to his beloved. Years of longing and danger pass before the minstrel sees her again. Years that lead the knight on a crusade and the healer, wrongly accused of poisoning her, to prison. Will he ever be able to sing to her of his love? A fascinating life: the poet and the healer.
