It takes us to the enchanted folklore of Azerbaijan, shows lovely camels, beautiful music and awesome dance! It explores traditional Azerbaijani clothes, art and customs in a unique way, by using amazing colours and scripts to narrate the plot changes.

    I just watched it today, after reading this. It's a very colorful movie, and very beautiful music too. Interestingly, the movement of some of the dances done by female dancers in the film looked very similar to some movement from some Iranian dance I had toured with some years ago. Thanks again for writing about this film- it was really fun to watch this!
