Bab’Aziz
The film follows Bab’Aziz (Parviz Shahinkhou), a blind old Sufi dervish, and his spirited young granddaughter, Ishtar (Maryam Hamid), as they wander through the vast, shifting sands of the desert. They are traveling to a great gathering of dervishes that takes place only once every thirty years. However, the location and timing of this meeting are unknown; Bab’Aziz explains that “those who are invited will find the way,” trusting entirely in faith and intuition to guide their footsteps.
