NAIROD is a Norman knight who lives a dissolute life in his castle until his king, son of William the Conqueror, orders him to join the first crusade launched by His Holiness Pope Urban II.

On November 3rd 1097, Nairod is captured by YAGHI-SIYAN, governor and emir of Antioch who sends him to his worst jail. Despite the rough treatments, a mutual respect grows between Nairod and the emir. While many of the crusaders were dying from starvation and beginning to desert, the emir takes an interest into this barbaric yet courageous knight and introduces him to ancient philosophy, particularly Stoicism as well as Sufism and the Bhagavad Gita.

Finally, just before the Christians captured the citadel, the emir decides to set Nairod free and let him go on to his search for truth, following the Silk road to Persia, Samarkand and the Himalayas Mountains.

Meanwhile, in his castle, back in France, Nairod’s portrait changes slightly, showing some sort of greatness behind the ugliness of the traits.

Ten years later, a poor and meager monk with his head covered by a hood, walks in the rainy night towards a castle in Normandy, asking for hospitality. Seeing this poor monk wearing a hood over his head, sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a bowl of soup, staring in front of him at the painting of her deceased husband, the lady of the manor stops in the middle of her sentence. Something about this monk puzzles her mind…
