Plot Summary for
Ashik Kerib (1988) More at IMDbPro »Ashug-Karibi (original title)

Wandering minstrel Ashik Kerib falls in love with a rich merchant's daughter, but is spurned by her father and forced to roam the world for a thousand and one nights - but not before he's got the daughter to promise not to marry till his return. It's told in typical Paradjanov style, in a series of visually ravishing 'tableaux vivants' overlaid with Turkish and Azerbaijani folksongs. Written by Michael Brooke <michael@everyman.demon.co.uk>
