Kha, architect and builder of tombs for the pharaohs, has to undertake the journey to the Underworld, amid a thousand dangers. Eternal life is at stake, but the risk is ending up being dissolved into cosmic nothingness.
Telling us the story of his adventure is Jeremy Irons, in the guise of a narrator resembling an ancient storyteller. His words take us inside the secret world of Egyptian mythology, religion and funerary culture, interweaving the story with the history of the Museo Egizio in Turin, which was founded in 1824 and is the oldest in the world.
