The myth that inspired The Flying Dutchman. A classic tale of the power of love and the strength of evil. Stars Gerard Murphy.

But how do you prove a lover would give their soul to save yours?

In the short, dark days of Norwegian winter, this timeless tale explores the danger of getting what you wish for, the power of love and the strength of evil.
