December settles over Melthkior as the weight of the crown presses ever closer. Harri stands on the brink of his coronation, determined to unite old faith and new, to heal his kingdom, and to raise a healer’s hall where hope can take root.

Among the honoured guests is Ffion—keen-eyed, steady-hearted, and deeply bound to the old ways. Her arrival for the Heir’s Blessing stirs something Harri never expected… and something she can’t quite name.

But when divine forces disrupt the ceremony, goddesses Arianrhod and Creiddylad entwine their fates with ancient magic, winter dreams, and a curse that may demand more than either is ready to give.

✨ Daffodils and Dreams — a fairytale-rich, myth-woven retelling steeped in romance, Welsh lore, and the fragile bloom of hope.

🌼 Are you ready to dream?

Bargain basement Hammer fantasy sequel manages to ditch almost everything that gave the original film its class. Plot is basically a role-reversal of the original film; Richardson's character has gone mad (we are invited to infer) and regressed to the personality of his previous incarnation (film doesn't actually make sense otherwise); awaits the arrival of the reincarnation of Ursula Andress (not that Berova looks that much like her); cult of sorcerers offer to speed her arrival in return for the secret of immortality.

Basically just quite pedestrian and dull, with lots of messing about on a rich man's yacht that doesn't do a great deal to advance the plot. Some potentially interesting ideas are ignored in favour of potboiler romance and fantasy melodrama. Production values basically scream that the movie was made on a very low budget. Andre Morell is the best thing in it, and he's not in it all that much.
