When Nathan returns from a business trip, he learns that his house was set on fire while he was away and that his daughter Recha only managed to escape the flames with the help of a Templar.

KEY VISUAL NATHAN
A great stroke of luck and at the same time unbelievable, on the one hand because the Templar, as a Christian, voluntarily saved a Jewish woman, and on the other hand because he himself was the only crusader not to be executed by the Muslim Sultan shortly before.
In his search for this Templar, Nathan is soon confronted with his own past and a dense plot unfolds around the question of the coexistence of the three monotheistic religions, of tolerance and its fragility, of belonging, community, equality, which ultimately ends in the famous "ring parable".
Lessing's work NATHAN THE WISE, published in 1779 and considered one of the main works of the Enlightenment, is set in 1192, after the reconquest of Jerusalem by the Muslims under Sultan Saladin (1187), at the time of the Third Crusade.
