Details
A band of travelling players tell the tale of Pippin, first born son of the warlord Charlemagne, who, after a sheltered life of academe, discovers women and war. Longing to live an extraordinary life, Pippin makes a series of choices, but learns ultimately that glory for the individual is usually at the expense of others.
