• Mia Productions has more on Love and Virtue:
  
  “Based on a script by Mia Sperber and Stefano Pratesi. The enticing saga of Orlando, the famous knight of the Emperor Charlemagne, set in the 8th century, full of bravery, devotion, and passionate love stories.
  
  A turbulent and mystical story of love and desire set against an epic battle raging between Charlemagne’s Empire and the Barbarians, an extraordinary tale, exploring themes of love, loyalty and friendship.
  
  With its sword and sorcery elements, and the compelling dreamy atmosphere set in a time and space that actually existed, the work creates a fascinating meld between mystical fiction and epic cinema. With the characters competing for the love of one woman, there is an unforgettable, powerful message for wholesomeness, devotion and courage needed to stand by those who you love, in life and on the battlefield, and the permanent clash between good and evil.”
