Plot

In the heart of ancient times, a singularly devoted Magus, Artaban, is driven by a celestial prophecy to seek out the birthplace of the forthcoming King. Despite the skepticism of his kin and companions, he embarks on this pilgrimage, armed with three invaluable jewels intended as tokens for the infant Messiah. Alongside Orontes, his servant who accompanies him with a tinge of reluctance, Artaban endeavors to merge with a caravan of three other wise men also guided by the star. Fate, however, has a different trajectory; they miss the caravan, but the indefatigable Artaban remains unwavering in his quest, perpetually trailing a step behind. Journeying through the sands of time, Artaban's wealth dwindles, and his vitality wanes as he ceaselessly aids the destitute and unfortunate souls he encounters. In a poignant twist of fate, Artaban's journey culminates at the trial of Jesus, the King he spent his life seeking. This unexpected end leaves one to ponder: Has Artaban squandered his life in a fruitless pursuit? Or will his unwavering faith and the gifts he carries finally find their way to the King? This tale explores the boundaries of devotion and the true meaning of a spiritual journey, leaving the audience captivated until the very end.
