EINEG
Synopsis
Eineg is a young boy who does not know his parents. He is forced to steal to feed himself. He lives in the kingdom of Ofar-babah, ruled by a bloodthirsty king who only shares the country's wealth with his closest followers and collaborators. There is a lot of poverty in this kingdom and suspicion about the curses and different magics that live there. At the age of 14, Eineg creates a well organized gang with his 6 friends, also orphans and destitute. Their goal was to rob the rich people of the kingdom. After 10 years, the gang became an organization composed of 40 members: the 40 thieves of Ofar-Babah. They were very well organized and knew how to bribe when necessary. They became the terror of the ruling order and the beacon of hope for the people with whom they often shared their booty. The kingdom having suffered several affronts decided to put a Prize on their heads. It is then that several hunters launched out in pursuit of them. They fled the kingdom, thinking they could return by directly attacking King Ali's fortune, stored in a cave. Not everything went according to plan. During the attack on the cave, the band was betrayed and murdered, with only Eineg surviving. As punishment, the king ordered his witch to cast a spell on him. From then on, he would obey the orders of anyone in possession of the golden ring that the king received. Thus, Eineg became the king's slave, assigned to do the dirty work and set an example for the rest of the people. One day, the kingdom was attacked and the king was killed. This began a series of stories in Eineg's life, leading to the creation of a being of absolute power and loyalty.

Note of intent
The movie takes place in the very distant past in the heart of a kingdom in the Arabian Peninsula. There was no sanitary system, no housing and no education. Magical and evil beliefs were very strong. Many children were abandoned by their parents because a witch doctor told them that their dark skin was a curse. This was the case for Eineg, for example. This practice is still very present today in certain regions of the world. One of the goals of the film is also to denounce this.
​
Eineg as an adult is rather tall and muscular, with swarthy skin and a square jaw. King Ali is overweight and the witch Tapsat is a rather old woman with very white skin. The story will be composed of two main parts. The first part refers to Eineg's childhood and stops on the day of his arrest by the king. This part will arouse in the general public a desire for revenge, followed by an emotion of amazement at his arrest. The second part begins on the day the curse is cast on him and ends with his last master. Here, sadness and even anger will be aroused. Not everything ends well for those who do good, or think they do. Eineg is a strong, reckless and intelligent fighter who knew how to surround himself well. Enslaved, he kept trying to free himself, but in vain. Immortal, he ends up accepting his situation which will last thousands of years.
​
Time is capable of weakening even the strongest of men. When a glimmer of hope appears on the horizon, they will do everything to seize it. Again, it is another story...
