On a starry night in January 1869, a meteor flies over a small village in the Siberian countryside. According to legend, its passage would herald the birth of an exceptional being. Shortly after, Grigori Efimovitch Rasputin comes into the world. To say that this little man and his fiery gaze are exceptional is an understatement. His contemporaries would see in him a healer, a prophet, a charlatan, a pilgrim guided by faith, a beggar wallowing in debauchery, an emissary of God or of the Devil... Whatever people may think, the story of this peasant's son, who would come to whisper in the ear of the Tsar himself, is already a miracle.
