Storyline

Cyril and Methodius were two Byzantine Greek brothers born in the 9th century. They became missionaries of Christianity. They influenced the cultural development of all Slavs and received the title "Apostles to the Slavs". They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet, the first alphabet used to transcribe Old Church Slavonic. They are venerated in the Orthodox Church as saints with the title of "equal-to-apostles". Pope Leo XIII introduced their feast into the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church and Pope John Paul II declared them copatron saints of Europe. We want to shoot a cinema docu-drama, which will map their lives.
