When a tyrant meets an old wise man...

In order to increase his power, a tyrant asks an old wise man of his kingdom to give him the secrets which would enable him to extend his power and domination. Despite all his efforts, he can only elicit one answer from the old wise man:

“ Look at the sky and count the stars ”.

When he realises the old wise man will not give him more clues, the tyrant follows his advice and starts counting the stars in the sky. This challenge will lead him to use all of his power, and eventually learn that he is not the master of the earth. He will also understand that the earth is a common planet in the solar system, and discover the basis of astronomy.

Step by step, a relationship takes place between them which will change the tyrant’s quest for domination into a quest for knowledge…
