A Sufi Valentine

2004 · 33 min ·

Ali Alizadeh reads English translations of Rumi and Hafiz, as well as his own contemporary Sufi poems. Accompanying the poems, the film follows six characters on their individual journeys of disenchantment, awakening and bliss: a poet and dancer who are struggling with their art, and four lovesick individuals, engulfed in solitude and yearning.
