12 Paces Without A Head
East Fresia 1401: the era of the feared pirates and best friends Klaus Störtebeker (Ronald Zehrfeld) and Gödeke Michels (Matthias Schweighöfer) is coming to an end. When promising loot once again finally appears on the horizon Störtebeker is badly wounded in battle and his pirates ingloriously defeated. Their cog has sunk and Störtebeker is suddenly plagued by doubts about his pirate profession. He longs to settle on land with the beautiful Bille while Michels is sent packing by the sexy Fresian princess Okka. Just when the crew mutinies against the hapless co-captains and everything seems lost they discover a superweapon aboard their rotten old sloop. Glorious times return until the ruthless Hanse re-arms leaving the pirates with only two choices: life as a farmer or death as a pirate!
