Set in sixteenth-century Prague, the story revolves around Rudolf II, a troubled emperor with a depleted treasury, and the Great Rabbi, who navigates the complexities of Jewish-Christian relations. Wealthy financier Mordechai Meisl plays a crucial role in sustaining the court, while his wife, Esther, shares a secret connection with the emperor through dreams. The Great Rabbi seeks to sever the bond between Esther and Rudolf to avert divine wrath, amidst a vibrant backdrop filled with historical figures like Johannes Kepler and alchemists.
