## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

King Solomon’s peaceful coronation immediately draws hostile eyes, including his brother’s temper and neighboring potentates’ pragmatic scheming. When the Queen of Sheba arrives with trade and seduction in her bag, Solomon finds his reign measured not just in wisdom but in survival. The production still frames testosterone as a divine right.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, epic
