Hearts and Armour
A lavish and entertaining story of love, chivalry and action is a highly entertaining adventure epic in the tradition of Excalibur, set in an imaginary arcadian world where Christian knights and Saracen warriors, preparing to wage war against each other, are united in affairs of the heart.
As the two sides ready themselves for battle, Bradamonte (Barbara De Rossi) surrenders her prisoner Angelica (Tanya Roberts) to the man she loves, Angelica´s brother Ruggero (Ronn Moss) the Saracen leader.
And the two forget their enmity when they are in each others arms. Similarly, Christian champion Orlando (Rick Edwards) finds his taste for combat waning when he falls for Angelica.
There are many magnificent scenes of action and warfare to be enjoyed before the two couples finally discover that Heart are stronger than Armour.
