    • In 1850, and archeological expedition discovered 11 tablets that narrate the mythical tale of Gilgamesh, King of Uruk. A tyrant King who was warned by the Gods, with the creation of Enkidu an equal to him to show him the limits of power. After a close battle, Enkidu became his friend and confident, and went along with him on great fights against Jumbaba and the Bull of heaven, which made the Gods furious, and imposed a punishment: killing Enkidu. After his friend’s death, Gilgamesh sees the possibility of dying and embarks on a journey to the ends of the world in search for the secret of eternal life. This will be his greatest adventure. To date there is no audiovisual story about this tale that narrates the most universal and timeless existential human drama, with the charms of every mythical legend.
