Long before Romeo and Juliet, the 7th-century Arabian desert of Najd gave birth to the greatest tragic romance in human history - the true story of the Bedouin poet Qays ibn al-Mulawwah (Majnun) and Layla al-Amiriyya.

Experience the complete 20-scene historical and Sufi epic in cinematic quality: from their first meeting at the Maktab study hall, to Qays's tearful prayer at the Kaaba in Mecca, his exile among the wild beasts of the desert, and their immortal reunion beyond death.
