The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey
An Odyssey Across Time.
Directed by Vincent Ward
Produced by Arenafilm, Film Investment Corporation of New Zealand
A haunting, visually striking time-travel odyssey that uses medieval plague and prophetic dreams to explore faith, mortality, and the collision between worlds.
Cumberland, 1348. The plague is spreading in medieval England. The remote village of little Griffin is also threatened. But the 9-year-old boy has a recurring dream that holds the key to a tiny hope of survival: a lake with a coffin floating on it. A white church with an iron cross. A falling glove. A falling silhouette. A torch tumble through a dark shaft into infinity. With his brother he recognizes in it a prophecy to escape the Black Death. So they embark with a few men on a journey to a distant cathedral, where they want to set up an iron cross as an offering to God. Her path leads them through a deep and dark mine shaft into an unknown land and completely outlandish time - into the present-day New Zealand of the 1980s.
