Even in its unfinished form, "The Canterbury Tales" is considered Chaucer's main work and one of the most important pieces in all of English literature. Every April, a stream of pilgrims from all over England gathers in the ancient city... of Canterbury to pay homage to the relics of Saint Thomas Becket. One day, in a roadside tavern, representatives of the most diverse social strata meet — a knight and a monk, a lawyer and a merchant, a doctor and a cook, a weaver and a seller of indulgences. All of them are heading on a pilgrimage to Canterbury and are ready to lighten the burdens of the journey with stories of friendship and love, faith and betrayal, marital trials and deals with the devil. Varied in style and length, reflecting the individual traits of each storyteller, "The Canterbury Tales" equally captivates and paints an honest and detailed picture of medieval life with all its joys and hardships.
