A beautiful and deeply satisfying work of art. Let the Rationalists disdain the spiritual, but nothing so
stirs the Soul. And existence is richest when lived through Soul, and its' infinite multiplicity.
A handful of shifting, ephemeral stories of quests begins with a blind dervish and his granddaughter burrowing out from a sandstorm. A gazelle leads a prince to meditate, and a psalmodist sings for his lost lover. A deeply spiritual and mystical epiphany of music, love, dance and color. ‘Oh day, arise! The atoms are dancing.’
"There are as many paths to God as there are souls on earth."
"How can death be the end to something that has no beginning?"
What more can one say?
excellent
It was definitely interesting but sometimes it got dragged out a little too much, I think. I would recommend it to others though.
So satisfying, this feast for the soul. It touched me deeply - words don't serve to express its beauty.
A sufi's journey into eternity. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Khemir in Damascus in 2010. We shared our love for Sufism and discussed Ibn Arabi and Rumi on a wonderful afternoon. Mr. Khemir's talent is evident in this film and all his masterpieces. I recommend this film to all who are seeking answers to this life and the one after.
