The Face of the Other

In 17th-century Europe, a defiant Catholic scholar risks excommunication to publish the first Latin Quran—unleashing a war of faith, espionage, and cultural power that spans from the Vatican to Istanbul, the intellectual heart of the East. ----------------------- Synopsis: The Face of the Other is a historical drama set in the late 17th century, where faith, empire, and forbidden knowledge collide. In Rome, Catholic priest Lodovico Marracci battles Vatican censors as he attempts to publish the first Latin translation of the Quran—an intellectual crusade meant to confront the rising Ottoman threat. Meanwhile, in Istanbul, French diplomat Antoine Galland smuggles books for the French crown while secretly compiling tales of One Thousand and One Nights. His mission pits him against Fehmi, a powerful Ottoman pasha, and entangles him in a doomed love with Fatima—Fehmi’s concubine, a gifted enslaved woman whose tragic fate haunts him. In the East, young Orthodox priest Timoteo Agnellini flees scandal in Mardin after a forbidden affair. Now Marracci’s assistant in Rome, he is consumed by guilt and a search for his long-lost sister, Fatima—caught between ideology and redemption. As their paths converge across Rome, Istanbul, and Mardin, their personal journeys mirror a larger war of ideas. Inspired by true events, The Face of the Other explores how empathy and intellect can bridge civilizations in times of fear and division.
