SYNOPSIS: A very peculiar angel and a musician with his cello bring to life a performance that is both a concert and a storytelling piece. Through the many "magical" objects used during the performance, moments of great visual and poetic power are recreated from the chronicle of three wise men's journey following a star. Above all, it is an encounter with the audience, reminiscent of bygone eras, a way to revive the intimate and familial spirit of Christmas as if we were gathered around a fireplace reliving the most magical story of our childhood. 

A shooting star, perhaps a comet, or simply a dazzling light, has approached Earth and is moving westward. Melchior, an old magician, astronomer, and highly respected priest, has seen this wondrous light and decides to set out to follow it and discover its destiny. On his journey, he meets Gaspar, a magician from India, also driven by great curiosity, and then Balthasar, a magician from Africa, the youngest of the three, who recognizes in this star the fulfillment of an ancient legend: the star will lead them to the King of all Kings. The three, accompanied by their faithful animals (a horse, a donkey, and a camel), must overcome many obstacles and trials in their attempt to follow this mysterious light. They arrive in Jerusalem and there meet the cunning King Herod, who shows them the final path to find the Messiah. They immediately set out and arrive in the Jewish town of Bethlehem, where a child has been born who is said to be the King of all men. It is a momentous occasion. The arduous journey suddenly seems to make sense. Now they can return home, having discovered with astonishment that the mysterious king of the world is a child.
