On My Way to the Crusades, I Met a Girl Who... is a medieval comedy about a woman trapped by her jealous husband's cruel precaution. Before departing for the Crusades, he locks her in a chastity belt—a decision that becomes the source of endless complications and dark humor. Left behind in his absence, she must navigate the absurdity of her predicament while her husband fights distant wars. The film plays with the tension between marital control and female agency, using the chastity belt as both a literal and symbolic anchor to her husband's possessiveness. What unfolds is a satirical exploration of power dynamics and desire in medieval society, where one woman's confinement becomes the catalyst for unexpected freedom and rebellion.
