Fascinating stories and legends tell us about the voyage and the legacy of the three magi. This documentary is itself a voyage - far and wide through space and time - to better understanding and deeper knowledge. We will visit ancient Palestine, hike through the dessert, and go to Bethlehem via Jerusalem… From Bethlehem we will travel to Constantinople, to Milan and to the Monk‘s Republic on Mount Athos. Finally we will meet our three holy pilgrims in Cologne, where since 1164 their bones are kept.
Who were the three magi? How can we imagine their trip to Bethlehem? What happened to the presents they brought to the newborn king? What does modern science say about the star of Bethlehem and why are the three magi after 2000 years still on the road?
These are just some of the questions this documentary tries to answer with the help of numerous experts.
