在这部以斯帖剧情片中,伊斯特》来自圣经故事。讲述在前阿拉伯人和海法中东部犹太人地区废墟, 暴乱。影片的故事虽发生在古老波斯帝国，那里犹太人被流放。战争、屠杀永远无休止，当然爱情也是如此……
Ahasverus, king of Persia and Media, puts aside Vashti and makes Esther his queen, choosing her among maidens in a kingdom stretching from India to Ethiopia. Esther, using information from Mordecai, her uncle and patron, saves the king from assassination. Haman, the king's favorite, is miffed when Mordecai won't bow to him, so he orders death to all Jews in the kingdom, under the seal of the king. Esther pleads for her people, and Mordecai is in turn given license to make his own edict under the king's seal. Mordecai loses sight of his original intention, and bloody murder ensues. Purim annually celebrates the story. At the end of the film, the actors comment.
