It stars Nicola Coughlan and Aimee Lou Wood with a cast that includes Jessica Hynes, Nick Frost, Lolly Adefope, James Acaster and Ben Ashenden.

Set in Britain in the Dark Ages, the arrogant queen Dagan finds her castle besieged by rebels led by their leader Humble Joan using a special powder that destroys everything when near fire.

While travelling, Shulmay confides in Bobik that when she was a child she once served as a servant to Dagan's father, a cruel king.

Elsewhere, as the trio arrive at the citadel, they try to get work for some money, but fail at first when Dagan accidentally breaks her shovel during a traumatic memory from her past.

They manage to gain money using the broken end of the shovel and Dagan's voice in a puppet show for audiences to throw pebbles at.

When she tries to use a cannon on her, Shulmay and Bobik intervene; setting off the chest full of powder and killing nearly all of Joan's men.

Meanwhile, Bobik, with a radical idea, saves Dagan by using a tiny amount of the powder and flame to seal the wound.

The film ends with Shulmay as queen, Bobik as Earle, and Dagan happily as an entertainer - although she still has some of that royal temperament when a couple of kids steal her earnings.

Nigel Green, Jack Webb, Sophie Meyer, Paul Grindey and Andy Riley acted as executive producers for the film.
