more in depth
synopsis of the film over at their official site; "England
14th century. Plague and bandit attacks threaten remote communities
and the forests that surround them add nameless terrors. The
people labour under the yoke of two oppressive powers - the
Church laying claim to their souls and the Knights, the feudal
warlords, who command life or death. NICHOLAS (Paul Bettany),
a young priest, is discovered in the act of adultery by an enraged
husband who dies in the ensuing struggle. Appalled by his fall
from grace, he turns his back on the Church and goes on the
run. Destitute and forced to hide his privileged origins, NICHOLAS
joins a troupe of traveling actors who have just lost one of
their number. He is falling for SARAH (Gina McKee), the beautiful
sister of the troupe's leader, but the shame of his past leads
him to conceal his passion. He begs to stay and learn the mysteries
of the actor's craft." (more

Joining
Dafoe and Bettany in the film are Vincent Cassell (La Haine),
Ewan Bremner (Pearl Harbor, Trainspotting), Brian Cox (Manhunter),
Gina McKee (The Croupier, Notting Hill), Tom Hardy (TV's Band
Of Brothers, Black Hawk Down) and Simon Pegg (TV's Spaced
Out).
The film's DOP is Peter Sova, who has worked on Good Morning
Vietnam and Donnie Brasco.
