Film Synopsis
Just as the face of the beautiful Queen Nefertiti miraculously
resurfaces in the early years of the 20th century, near to an
archaeological site at Amarna in Egypt, a young journalist unveils the
secrets of the life of the daughter of the Sun God and her husband, the
pharaoh Akhénaton. Having broken with the traditions of
the past, Nefertiti had to overcome plots and betrayals to become a
timeless myth, a myth which takes on a new lease of life in 1912...
