The Physician
A journey out of darkness into light
Directed by Philipp Stölzl
Produced by Pixomondo, CinePostproduction
An ambitious historical epic about a young man's transformative journey from medieval England to Persia in pursuit of medical knowledge and enlightenment, anchored by mentorship and the clash between faith and reason.
England, 1021: Born in a miserable mining town, Robert Cole 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.
