Series Ronja the Robber's Daughter — 1 season, 5 episode

Story

Winter closes in on the Mattis Fortress and the Borka Keep, and Ronja and Birk must stay inside their separate strongholds, apart from one another. The friendship that began in secret is now tested by distance and by the long-standing divide between their families. Within these walls, Ronja learns why her father harbors such deep hatred for Borka. The discovery gives the rivalry a personal side and shifts how she sees the conflict around her.

The episode pairs adventure with a quieter, more intimate story. Instead of roaming freely in the forest, the characters are held in place by the season, and the focus turns to family history and the feelings that come with it.
