What happens

Mara and the Firebringer is a 2015 German fantasy film. It is an adaptation of the first book in the trilogy of the same name by Tommy Krappweis, who also wrote the screenplay and directed it. The focus of the story is on Mara Lorbeer, a 15-year-old girl in Munich who learns that she is a spákona, a seeress from Norse and Germanic mythology, and is supposed to prevent the impending Ragnarök. She jumps back and forth between the world of the present and the world of Norse and Germanic mythology and meets such figures as Loki, Thor, Sigurd and the dangerous Firebringer. As with the novels, the film's technical adviser was Rudolf Simek. The film was produced by Christian Becker and his company Rat Pack Filmproduktion in cooperation with RTL and Krappweis' production company bumm film. Lilian Prent, in her feature film debut, plays the title role of Mara Lorbeer. Jan Josef Liefers, Esther Schweins, Christoph Maria Herbst, and Eva Habermann co-star. The world premiere took place on March 29, 2015, in Cologne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
