"Sudan\u2019s first Oscar entry\u2026 is warmed by compassion and gorgeous, dreamy imagery" Guardian<\/i><\/div>\n <\/blockquote>\n

When a sheikh and his dervish predict that newly born Muzamil will only live for two decades, the strain of this inescapable fate affects the sensitive young man, leading him to explore religion, romantic love and finally turn towards a worldly father figure, Suleiman. The fascinating glimpses of cosmopolitan life that he introduces provide an alternative to his staid pre-determined future.<\/p>\n
