Synopsis
Four centuries ago, the Thirty Years' War began. This ambitious documentary-fiction series delves into three decades of chaos, intrigue and terror, at the end of which a more just and modern Europe will emerge. By means of unpublished testimonies, it returns to an episode relatively unknown to the general public but which was one of the deadliest in European History.
