Did love survive in times of epidemics and crusades?

Villages and towns, churches and fortified castles are being built in the Loire Valley, Crusaders are returning from the Holy Land, images of hunger and epidemics appear on the stained glass windows ... This is 12th-century France in transition.

In the middle of these events - the young embroiderer Isambur and the stained-glass master Bertold, who had great affection and fought to be together against all odds.
