answers all of Dolf’s predictablequestions.
The year: 1212. The place: Germany.
While Jan and Joanne start on a rescue
plan, Dolf and Jenne cross paths with
The Childrens’ Crusade - ten thousand
orphans and runaways led by the monk Anselmus,
and a delusional young and charismatic,
Nicolas. They’re on their way to
liberate Jerusalem. The children are cold
and starving, yet it doesn’t take
long for Dolf and his modern 21st century
ways to transform the children into a
self-sufficient army. The monks, whose
real mission is to sell the children to
slave traders, view this as a serious
threat. Dolf’s only chance for survival
is to unmask them while guiding the Crusade
over the Alps...
