Delving into a Sufi tale about a simple village girl held hostage in the fortress of a powerful king, this film grapples with questions of freedom and imprisonment, longing and belonging. It weaves together the zaahir and the baatin (the apparent and the hidden meanings) of this tale, which is at once spiritual and social, personal and political, historical and timeless, about a woman, her lost homeland and the struggle to remember who we truly are.
