Palace Of Desire

Follows the Al Jawad family into the awakening world of the 1920's and the sometimes violent clash between Islamic ideals, personal dreams and modern realities. Having given up his vices after his son's death, ageing patriarch Al-Sayyid Ahmad pursues an arousing lute-player - only to find she has married his eldest son.

Urmareste familia Al Jawad in lumea trezita a anilor 1920 si ciocnirea uneori violenta dintre idealurile islamice, visele personale si realitatile moderne. Dupa ce a renuntat la viciile sale dupa moartea fiului sau, batranul patriarh Al-Sayyid Ahmad urmareste un cantator de lauta excitant - doar pentru a descoperi ca s-a casatorit cu fiul sau cel mai mare.
