In the seventeenth century, a Cairo physician is commissioned to travel to Abyssinia to attend the negus, but the mission conceals Louis XIV's interests in extending his influence toward the East. The journey through unknown territories, between the protagonist's love and cunning, confronts two cultures and changes his worldview.
