Through the windshield of the car, a young student observes the desert and is surprised when he sees swaying bodies, akin to spirits, moving to a rhythm and blocking the way. Those are the wanderers of the desert, as the myths have it, protecting a buried treasure.


In Andalusia during the 11th century, the young Hassan reads as he searches for more endearing terms for the word 'love', and he dreams of worlds between reality and dreams, and lines in books, pictures, and calligraphy. A sweet tale that also presents aborted revolutions and power struggles.


A fantasy that mixes the reality with myth; as (Aziz), the blind sheikh, takes his granddaughter (Ishtar) on a journey through the desert where she sees intertwined stories that are unbound by time.
