On the planet Antar in the right arm of the Milky Way, the evil Ratan usurps the throne after the emperor dies. Using all the kingdom's military power, he forces children into slave labor.

Three princes, Zacaling, Mussaim, and Dedeon, join forces with the "Nameless Knight" to defeat Ratan and free the children.^[1]

Reception

Commercial

Matheus Bonez in his criticism of the website Papo de Cinema wrote, "Production may not be a thing of the past, but it does not have to be negative about it. Even the 'performances' of the cast, in general, do not compromise fun more than guaranteed. (...) A legitimate afternoon session without commitment."^[2]
