Hadassah (Louise Lombard), a beautiful Jewish girl, lives with her cousin (and legal guardian) Mordechai (F. Murray Abraham) in Shushan, the capital of Persia. After King Achashverosh (Thomas Kretschmann) deposes Queen Vashti (Ornella Muti) for her refusal to obey his decree, he is advised to choose a new queen. Guards then search his entire kingdom for worthy candidates, taking them from their homes by force and removing them to the palace. Mordechai attempts to hide Hadassah but she is captured by the guards. For her protection and at the insistence of her cousin Mordechai, Hadassah changes her name to Esther, meaning "hidden". Esther and the rest of the young women are taken to the first harem, where they are placed under the custody of Haggai, a royal eunuch and chief caretaker of the harem. Meanwhile, Haman, another royal advisor (Jürgen Prochnow) rises to power and favor of the king. Memuchan (Umberto Orsini), a trusted chamberlain of the king, is wary of Haman's ambition. Mordechai also makes an enemy of Haman, due to Mordechai's refusal to kneel and show Haman deference as others in the kingdom do. Haman plots revenge on Mordechai.
