The Physician II
Directed by Philipp Stölzl
Produced by Zeitsprung Pictures, UFA Fiction
A historical drama about a physician's struggle to introduce Eastern medical knowledge in medieval England, caught between institutional resistance and deeper questions of faith and understanding.
1050 AD: Robert Cole returns to England to bring the medical light of the Orient to his countrymen. But he fails because of the intrigues of the established London doctors, who feel threatened by the new knowledge. And it is not only the human body that is full of seemingly impenetrable secrets, the soul also holds its own mysteries.
