The Physician
In 11th Century Persia, a young man with an unusual talent travels across the Middle East to study at the hand of the world's most famous physician Ibn Sina (Kingsley). At the traumatic passing of his mother, the young man discovered his gift of foretelling death, and while growing up with a barber (Skarsgaard) who suppressed his talent, as an adult he travels to Persia to find the doctor of doctors in the city of Isfahan, who can help him develop his special powers. As word of his talent spreads throughout the city during times of a looming war, the young apprentice becomes a target of persecution, in this sweeping epic of biblical proportions portraying battles of good and evil, faith and superstition.
