Plot

When Tiuri answers a desperate call for help, he finds himself on a perilous mission that could cost him his life. He must deliver a secret letter to the King who lives across the Great Mountains. The future of the entire realm depends on the letter as a ruthless prince threatens to plunge the world into eternal darkness.

For Tiuri to do this, he has to abandon his home, break all the rules and leave everything behind, including his longtime dream of achieving knighthood. But what else can he do if the fate of the kingdom depends on him alone?

Tiuri must trust no one and keep his true identity a secret as he tries to deliver the letter to the king. Most importantly, he must not reveal the contents of the letter.

The show is based on the Dutch novel 'De brief voor de Koning' by Tonke Dragt. Dragt is a Dutch writer and illustrator of children's literature. 'De brief voor de koning' was chosen as the best Dutch youth book of the latter half of the 20th century.
