Spectacular German film adaptation based on Wolfgang Hohlbein's novel from the Nibelungen saga

The Burgundian master of arms Hagen von Tronje (Gijs Naber) is fully occupied ensuring that the kingdom does not collapse under the weight of numerous crises. As his dark past seems to press more and more into the present, he struggles against his suppressed feelings for the king's daughter Kriemhild (Lilja van der Zwaag). And as if that were not enough, the famous dragon slayer Siegfried von Xanten (Jannis Niewöhner) appears in Worms and causes quite a chaos. However, the new young king Gunter (Dominic Marcus Singer) sees in Siegfried a chance to save the realm. His plan is to marry the unpredictable Valkyrie Brunhild (Rosalinde Mynster). When Kriemhild eventually falls in love with Siegfried, Hagen must make a choice. Does he follow his heart or his responsibility?

The German filmmaker duo Cyrill Boss and Philipp Stennert ("Der Pass", "Das Haus der Krokodile") brings the story of the tragic hero Hagen von Tronje to the big screen with "Hagen". This epic Nibelungen drama is based on the fantasy book "Hagen von Tronje: Ein Nibelungen-Roman" by Wolfgang Hohlbein, published in 1986. He is also responsible, together with Boss and Stennert, for the screenplay of the film, which offers a new perspective on the Nibelungen saga by shifting the focus to the profound figure of Hagen von Tronje alongside the famous dragon slayer Siegfried.
