Synopsis
The knights of the King Arthur's Fellowship of the Round Table are celebrating the end of the year when they are rudely interrupted by a monstrous green knight who challenges them to a "game." Sir Gawain accepts the knight's challenge and embarks on a series of strange adventures until he encounters his most difficult challenge yet, which leads him to compromise the high standards he has set for himself. He realizes that his hopes of attaining perfection as a Knight of the Fellowship are gone forever. In the climax of this mysterious and stirring tale, we learn how Sir Gawain's fateful encounter with the Green Knight ends, and how he and the Fellowship of the Round Table deal with the ethical dilemma of honor lost.
