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 trezirii din anii 1920 si in ciocnirea uneori violenta dintre idealurile islamice, visele personale si realitatile moderne. Renuntand la viciile sale dupa moartea fiului sau, patriarhul imbatranit Al-Sayyid Ahmad o urmareste pe o lautista incitanta - doar pentru a afla ca aceasta s-a casatorit cu fiul sau cel mare.
