The Holy Grail: Parzival's Redemption and Lohengrin
A hermit teaches Parzival that God is faithful even when we are not. Restored to faith, Parzival fights his half-brother Fierefiss without knowing him, then is reconciled when each recognizes the other's valor. Parzival finally asks the healing question, becomes Grail King, and his son Lohengrin becomes the Swan Knight who rescues the maiden Else of Brabant.
