Amenábar's call to religious tolerance tells the dramatic story of 4th century scientist and philosopher Hypatia (Rachel Weisz in one of her best roles), an intelligent woman who taught at the famous Great Library of Alexandria. In a city were religious turmoil took ever more dangerous turns for non-Christians, she sought to scientifically unravel the mysteries of the solar system, leading to her untimely violent death at the hands of fundamentalist Christians who considered her a blaspheming witch.
