Annotation

In the 9th century is Europe ridden with the conflict between the Frankish Empire in the West and the Byzantine Empire in the East. In this power struggle get through their mission in Great Moravia get involuntarily get involved two brothers from Thessaloniki – judicious and strong Methodius and his brother Constantine, a man with a rich inner spirit. Their devout faith, wisdom and humility are tested hard by political plotting and greedy ambitions of rulers. In the effort to achieve a peaceful solution to the power-balance situation on Europe we can see a parallel with the present-day world and its current issues.
