Das verlorene Halsband der Taube

With fantastically beautiful images and in the narrative style of 1001 Nights, Nacer Khemir takes us back to the heyday of Andalusian-Arabic high culture. Inspired by the story ‘The Dove's Necklace’, the film depicts the many facets of love, for which the Arabic language has sixty terms. The story of Hassan, a calligraphy student, forms the framework for episodes in which the magical spell of the Princess of Samarkand comes to life. Khemir's fabulous storytelling brings the peaceful coexistence of different cultures to life on the screen.
