Templarios

In this dark comedy, a group of misfit medieval mercenaries, after failing to get paid, steal a large sum of treasure. Their quest for riches leads them into a series of bizarre and dangerous encounters, as they are pursued by vengeful ghosts and a variety of fantastical creatures. The journey tests their bonds and sanity as they face the supernatural and their own inner demons.
