Plot – If you strongly believe in something, nothing is impossible, even changing your life’s fate': this is the message of a humble craftsman for his son William. The order of the world is immutable in the fourteenth century Europe: for William it is impossible to think that he can change his life and his destiny, realizing his dream of becoming a knight. One day during a tournament in which horsemen compete in courageous and skillful challenges, fate offers William a chance of redemption. Among the horses’ pawing of the ground, the screaming crowd and the catching notes of Queen’s “We will rock you”, the unknown William turns into the aristocratic Ulrich Von Lichtenstein. William faces the famous champion Michael Jordan, the “best player of the year”. William has to face a brave last-ditch challenge where the odds at stake are pride, power and prestige.
