La historia está ambientada en al-Andalus en el siglo XII, donde el famoso filósofo Averroes es nombrado juez por el gran califa. Rivales políticos del califa, centrados en el líder de una secta islámica fanática, obligan al califa a enviar a Averroes al exilio, pero sus ideas siguen viviendo gracias a sus alumnos.
Production Design
The biblical tale of Joseph is told from an Egyptian perspective in this interesting character study. In this film, Joseph is called Ram. Ram, tired of his family's backward superstitious life, and tired of being picked on by his brothers, wants to go to Egypt to study agriculture. His brothers travel with him across Sinai, but then suddenly sell him to Ozir, an Egyptian who works for a Theban military leader, Amihar. Amihar is impressed by Ram's drive and personal charm and so grants Ram some desolate land outside the capital. Ram soon finds himself a pawn in the political and sexual games between Amihar and his wife Simihit, a high priestess of the Cult of Amun.
