Norway in the 10th century. Askur (Gotti Sigurdarson), son of the powerful Thorgeir (Helgi Skúlason) marries Embla (Maria Bonnevie), daughter of one of the few remaining landowners in Norway, in a pagan ceremony. King Olafur (Egill Ólafsson), a ruthless Christian, wants to remove all traces of non-Christian beliefs and captures the two of them during the ceremony. In order to free Embla, Askur must go to Iceland and convert the people there to Christianity.
