Storyline

After a lifetime of crime and bloodshed, an aging Robin Hood is left gravely wounded following a violent encounter he believes may be his last. He is taken in by a mysterious woman who offers him care and an opportunity for redemption. As Robin reflects on the legend that has grown around his name, he is forced to confront the difference between the heroic stories told about him and the man he actually became. The film presents Robin Hood not as a celebrated folk hero but as a weary outlaw facing his mortality and searching for meaning in his final days.
