Wochenendkrieger plot

Every summer you can go to the great meadows of the Swiss Mittelland to watch hundreds of knights and wizards fight against hordes of orc armies and fight for the fate of the Earth. In the evening, all these fighters return to their normal lives, only to go back to work the next morning. Meanwhile in Germany there are already about 250,000 role players whose hobby is to dress up as fantasy characters who create a fictional medieval world together with other players. Andreas Geiger guides five of these enthusiastic fighters between their 'normal' daily lives and their role play. He is also present during the 'Conquest of Mythodea', a battle with more than 12,000 participants.
