Salome: A Love Story

King Herod is entranced by his wife's daughter, Salome, who is obsessed with the prophet Jokanaan. When he asks Salome to dance for him, she agrees, but at a steep price-the head of the prophet. The Queen Herodias sides with her daughter, and finally, Herod, gives in, because he has given his word to Salome. The prophet's head is presented to Salome on a silver platter; she kisses him. Herod is disgusted by her lust for the prophet.
