The film tells the story of Moses leading the Jewish people out of Egypt into the promised land. The plot has the loose adaptation of four books of the Bible that have this trajectory: Book of Exodus, Leviticus, Book of Numbers and Deuteronomy. Welcomed by Pharaoh's daughter as a baby, Moses grows as the prince of Egypt, but turns against his adoptive family in favor of the suffering people of Israel, whom he should lead to liberty.
