Discover Mara and the Dragon, a Viking-inspired fantasy film about Mara, her dragon Flint, and the fight to protect the people she loves.
A world worth protecting
Mara and the Dragon is an original fantasy film from Heartforge Films. At its center is Mara, a young woman whose life has been shaped by conquest, separation, and the search for a place to belong. Beside her is Flint, the dragon who grows with her from a vulnerable creature into a powerful companion. Together, they give this story its scale—and its heart.
An adventure rooted in family
Mara is a royal child when Varr conquers her homeland. Separated from the life she knew, she finds shelter with a blind Danish woman who takes her and the young dragon in. That act of kindness becomes the foundation of a second home. Years later, danger reaches the people who gave her a future, and the past becomes impossible to leave behind.
More than a dragon story
The fantasy action includes flight, armies, and a world threatened by war. But the question beneath that spectacle is personal: what does protecting your family demand of you? Mara’s connection to her birth family and the woman who raises her gives the conflict an emotional weight beyond victory on a battlefield. Her choices matter as much as Flint’s strength.
A first look at the film
The film’s imagery moves between open mountain valleys and torchlit danger. Mara and Flint in flight offer a glimpse of freedom; the approaching army reveals how fragile that freedom can be. These contrasting images introduce the tone of Mara and the Dragon without giving away the turns ahead.
