1486: Knittlingen is a peaceful town in Kraichgau. Until the day that the travelling entertainers arrive – and children suddenly start disappearing.
Johann Georg, called ‘Faustus’, the lucky one, by his mother, isn’t concerned. He’s just interested in the bright costumes, the bagpipes and the stunts. In particular, the astrologer and magician Tonio del Moravia impresses him; he becomes strangely fascinated by the pale man with the piercing black eyes. Johann tags onto him and together they travel through Germany.
The young ‘Faustus’ absorbs everything that Tonio teaches him, but he senses that Tonio has a terrible secret. He runs away from him, travelling to Italy with a troupe of entertainers. But it’s too late, no matter where he goes, he can’t escape Tonio...
