Array1457 year. Enemies storm Marienburg Castle, the capital of the Teutonic Order. The Teutonic Master flees to Prussia. 1945. The Soviet army storms the Prussian city of Pillau. And now a Nazi Gauleiter is running from the enemy. What do these events have in common? They are united by an ancient crusader mystery - the mystery of Liguet, Satan's sword. "Yes, the plays turned out to be in different languages, and the playwrights did not know about each other, but the symbol that gives rise to the action always built its own invariable generic plot: if a rose is love, if a sword is war." And repeating history is always the way to Satan.
