Ramses II is the story of a great king divided between his duties and his passions. He must continue the war started by his father Sethi I to defend the interests of the Egyptian Empire. His wife Nefertari, an exceptional being, has something touching and more lovable. She triumphs over adversity in a world of women that she understands without taming it and that remains dominated by jealousy, intrigue and bad faith. In this story, the women find it hard to stand each other and are ready to destroy each other in revenge. They each bring to the life of the couple their singularity, their imagination and their demands. The life at the royal court evoked in this drama illustrates a way of living it with a lot of humor, sensitivity, but also bitterness.
