Le téléfilm commence au moment où Pâris, fils de Priam et d'Hécube, souverains de Troie, est abandonné par ses parents et exposé sur le mont Ida à cause d'une prophétie de la jeune Cassandre qui annonce que l'enfant causera la destruction de la ville. Pâris est recueilli et élevé par un berger. Après une ellipse, l'histoire se poursuit à l'adolescence de Pâris : celui-ci, poursuivant une chèvre échappée de son troupeau, s'aventure dans une grotte où les déesses Héra, Athéna et Aphrodite lui apparaissent. Il s'agit du jugement de Pâris, à l'issue duquel Aphrodite lui promet l'amour de la plus belle femme du monde, Hélène de Sparte. Aphrodite fait apparaître devant Pâris le visage d'Hélène dans une étendue d'eau, et celle-ci, qui regarde dans un lac au même moment, le voit elle aussi.

In 1943 Tibet, a Tibetan monk is informed that he has fulfilled the prophecies made of him, which include forgoing his name. He is then entrusted by his master with the protection of a Scroll which contains knowledge by which the reader becomes the most powerful of living things, a protection that will keep him youthful and immunize him to injury until, at the close of 60 years, he must pass the knowledge to an heir. The master, who has formerly been the guardian of this Scroll, is killed by German soldiers shortly after the transfer. His pupil, the now nameless Monk, escapes the Nazis.
