The Physician II

The long-awaited sequel to the international box office hit. A sweeping historical epic about love, loss, world religions and medicine — this time investigating the groundbreaking exploration of early mental health.

In 1034, the gifted physician Rob Cole and several rising doctors from Isfahan set out on a journey to England. Tragically, during the voyage, Rob's wife Rebecca perishes in a shipwreck, leaving him haunted by nightmares and solely responsible for their infant son. Upon reaching London, Rob discovers that Muslims and Jews are barred from entering the city, let alone being admitted to the physicians' association. Undeterred, he and his companions establish a makeshift hospital outside the city walls. When summoned by the king to treat his daughter Ilene, Rob's exceptional medical skills earn her trust and allow him to alleviate her psychological afflictions. As Rob becomes entangled in the power struggles and political intrigue of the royal household, he must rely on his medical expertise and innate cunning to survive in an England teetering on the brink of collapse.
