A journey out of darkness into light

England, 1021. Rob Cole, a boy born in a miserable mining town, swears to become a physician and vanquish disease and death. His harsh path of many years, a quest for knowledge besieged by countless challenges and sacrifices, leads him to the remote Isfahan, in Persia, where he meets Ibn Sina, the greatest healer of his time.

Als der Bader an grauem Star erkrankt und durch einen jüdischen Arzt geheilt wird, reift in Rob der Wunsch Medizin zu studieren.

L'Oracle

Londres, début du XIème siècle. Le jeune Rob Cole découvre à la disparition de sa mère qu’il possède un don particulier lui permettant de ressentir par le toucher l’imminence de la mort. Seul et sans ressource, c’est auprès d’un barbier ambulant qu’il découvre l’art de guérir. Se jurant de devenir médecin et de vaincre la mort elle-même, il décide de se rendre en Perse afin d’étudier auprès du « prince des savants », Avicenne. Face aux invasions barbares, aux guerres de religion, et aux épidémies dévastatrices, parviendra-t-il à accomplir son destin ?
