After contributing as Director of Photography and cinematographer for most of The Bible series. Raffaele Mertes makes his directorial debut in this powerful story of love, passion and religious conflict. After the proud Queen Vashti refuses to be commanded by her husband King Xerxes, he passes a law that all women must honour and respect their husbands and he effectively banishes Vashti from the royal household. Esther, a young and beautiful Hebrew woman and cousin of the cunning Mordecai, charms Xerxes and the royal court and becomes the new queen.
