Inspired by the biblical legend, this movie retells the meeting of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon and the fight of the most beautiful pagan queen to awaken, in the ruler of Israel's heart, a love other than that of heavenly Jerusalem. Having come from her country (located in present-day Yemen) with a caravan and gifts to meet this king known for his wisdom and glory, the queen Balkis embarks on a seduction campaign that soon succeeds. However, she obscurely feels that she will have no real power over him until she breaks down this obstacle between them: his faith.
