Inspired by real-life events, The Fencer takes its cues from the life of legendary fencing master Endel Nelis, who founded a school for young swordsmen in the 1950s that still runs to this day. Endel hides from Stalin’s secret police in a remote Estonian village because of his forced service in the German army during World War II. His attempts to keep a low profile as a physical education instructor at a local school come under threat when he uses his love of fencing to develop a rapport with his students and, consequently, raises the ire of the party-loyalist school principal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 7 to 14 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46402733637790,"sku":"MAD-PAL164","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9322225219946.jpg?v=1768455352","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9322225219946","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
