Youthful and ambitious, Johann Gutenberg is captivated by an idea that soon becomes an obsession. His powerful aspiration has the potential to revolutionize society and the world. However, Johann faces unexpected obstacles that threaten to undermine his goal: death, jealousy, suspicions of devilish interventions, financial setbacks, and a passionate love affair that could change everything. Yet, his determination is impossible to dismiss; it drives him forward. His ultimate goal is to invent what no one has accomplished before: the creation of the first movable-type printing press. As soon as he completes this invention, Johann embarks on a daring adventure to print the Holy Bible but soon finds himself facing external forces that align against him.
