Synopsis:

The 6th of June, 1808, the Napoleonic Army suffers its first defeat at the hands of a single man: a drummer boy who used the Montserrat mountains to echo his drums and send the French troops into a panicked retreat. When the news reaches Napoleon, he orders the captain of the imperial guard, Alain Maraval, to bring back the head of the young man responsible for his defeat. The captain gathers together a band of his best men and begins to hunt down the drummer known as Bruc. One night when he's away with his fiancée French soldiers kill his parents and brother. When the town people try to help, they are brutally punished for doing so, in a bloody battle in which they are hopelessly outmatched. Faced with this situation, Bruc is left with no other option than to flee into the mountains and wage a one man war on the soldiers that killed his family.

When the most perfect war machine ever known to mankind suffers its first defeat at the hands of a simple drummer boy, Napoleon sends six of his toughest mercenaries on a single mission: to bring back his head. After murdering his loved ones, the gang of warriors set out to hunt him down in the remote and sacred mountains of Montserrat. The drummer boy, named Bruc after the site of the battle, must fight single-handedly to survive and avenge his family. He becomes a symbol of freedom and hope for his nation, a hero who managed what no one else had ever done before: to defeat the invincible army of Napoleon Bonaparte.

A Catalan drummer boy retreats to the high sierra to escape Napoleon's army, but then manages to almost singlehandedly defeat them, bringing hope to the rest of Europe.
