And today we have the first posters and a trailer! Lead roles are given to our dear Sergey Bezrukov (who already played Boris Godunov in a series and is now playing another Russian famous ruler Yaroslav the Wise) and Ekaterina Voronina as his daughter princess Anna.

  THE STORY OF THE FILM IS SET IN

Rus' of the 11th century. Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise (Sergei Bezrukov) marries his daughter Anna (Ekaterina Voronina) to the King of the Franks. She views this dynastic marriage with fatalism, like all her sisters and brothers. She faces a 3,000km long, difficult, and perilous journey to France. Yaroslav entrusts the leadership of Anna's cortege and her protection along the way to the skilled warrior Ostromir (Ilya Malanin), who has proven his valor and loyalty to the prince.

DEZZY'S HISTORICAL LESSON 

It is interesting that the princess's cortege stretched for 600 meters and consisted of 100 horsemen, dozens of carriages, and carts filled with jewels and riches. As Yaroslav's favourite child, she married King Henry I of France and became the queen and even acted as the regent ruling the country while her son was still under aged. He will later rule the country for 48 long years as Philip I. Unusual for that age, she was literate and she even learned French before starting the journey to France. Henry was almost twenty years older than her. Check out the first trailer below and tell us what you think.
