Movie Info

In 12th-century Spain, the Caliph of Andalusia (Mahmoud Hemeida) enjoys the counsel of philosopher Averroes (Nour El-Sherif), who believes God wants people to interpret and debate the Koran. The Caliph's two sons, Nasser (Khaled El Nabaoui) and Abdalla (Hani Salama), come to embrace opposite ends of the prevailing intellectual climate, with Abdalla falling under the spell of religious fanatics, and Nasser following Averroes. This leads to social unrest and the persecution of the philosopher.
