La corte del Faraón

In his palace, the Pharaoh dreams of naked women and skinny cows. The wise men interpret the dream and decide that Potiphar, a victorious general, must marry the virgin maid Lota, who is in love with Micelino. During a battle, an arrow amputates Potiphar’s manhood. Potiphar buys Jose in the slave-market and gives him to Lota. On their wedding night, Potiphar tries to entertain Lota with stories, but he fails and goes away to war. Impatient, she tries to seduce Jose, but he rejects her. Heart-broken, she accuses José. The Queen keeps the slave, but he also rejects her.
