The story

Once upon a time there was a young prince named Siddhartha, who lost his mother at birth and was raised by his father the King Suddodhana and his mother-in-law.

After his birth astrologers and prophets predicted an extraordinary royal destiny to the child.
But a mysterious prophet comes to announce that the child’s destiny will not to be a king, but to guide the entire humanity...

Siddhartha grews up within the walls of the royal palace, held prisoner by his father, and kept away from everything that could divert him from his royal destiny. But the prince is so passionate with discovering the world that one nights he escapes the palace to explore the world outside his gilded cage. During this runaway he experiences the excitement of this new freedom, but also encounters poverty, suffering, disease and death… that he could not have imagined before.
