Visitors to the mosque at Cordoba are plagued by the tricks of three naughty boys: Rashid, who is Muslim, Samuel who is Jewish and Miguel who is Christian. One day, they go one step too far and as a punishment, they are forced to work in the mosque gardens, where they develop a deep sense of the building’s beauty and significance. Many years later, when the Christian king threatens to demolish the Islamic Mezquita and build a church in its place, the three friends reunite to hatch a plan to save the great mosque.
Cordoba is the city where the harmony and religious tolerance that existed between Muslims, Christians and Jews during the era of Muslim Spain shines through.
Three friends from three very different backgrounds learn to celebrate something good and work together in order to save and protect it
Religion, history mean nothing when it comes to friendship and doing what is right.
