Episodes with
Persian poet Omar Khayyam in his youth, as a link. The
first “Episode of Transexuality” shows a human
sacrifice in a city inhabited exclusively by women. The
second, “Episode of the White Slave”, broaches
the courage of a woman and the naivetë of first love.
“Episode of the Alchimist” features a man in
quest of immortality in a society dominated by the desire
for gold. In “Episode of the Caravan”, a man
travels with 33 merchants where all the situations repeat
themselves three times over. The fifth and last part,
“Episode of the Sixth Hell and the Funy”, is a
tribute to the Greek authors and shows the purification
of the main character following the assassination of his
mother.Unicorn - The Fruit Garden, filmed in India, is
intended as a film that will show contemporary man the
delight of contemplating simple day-to-day items. More
than this, it is an introduction to the magic world of
“A Thousand and one nights”, of Persian
miniatures, free interpretations of love, of wine, and of
God.
