What happens

The Seven Ravens (Czech: Sedmero krkavců) is a 2015 Czech-Slovak fairy tale film directed by Alice Nellis. The Seven Ravens is the story of a young woman who takes it upon herself to save her brothers and rid them of a curse which they were put under by their mother. It's a story about courage, endurance, and about the power of words, truth, and love. It's the story of how parents' mistakes fall on their children's shoulders, and how these children may either repeat them or correct them. The film is primarily based on a story by Božena Němcová. It also uses elements from the Brothers Grimm's version of the same fairy tale. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
