25yo Katja can’t leave her home in Vienna despite the evacuation in preparation for the impending Ottoman attack and finds ways to help away from battle. Her twin, Xavier, arrives with his regiment just in time to fight from within Vienna’s walls, and their elder brother, Wilhelm, is part of the exodus to make sure his wife and son are safe as well as to plead for help from Vienna’s allies. While their roles vary, each sibling is doing their best to save their home and keep their hope alive.
Courage comes in many forms. No matter which part of the battle you are facing, you need courage in order to stay hopeful. This battle actually happened; those fighting for Vienna actually beat the odds. While the main characters are fictional, their struggles are universal: keep fighting your battles, reach out to allies, and choose to embrace joy and hope.
Katja, Xavier, and Wilhelm are German, and Toby is implied German. Ahmed is Serbian. Most characters are either implied German or Turkish. The mature content rating is for mentions of rape. The violence rating is for gun and sword use, mentions of domestic violence, battle scenes, and death.
