It is a mix of complexity and subtlety, which delights and captivates us, so enchanting that it seems shorter than it is, when we realize it is over... It leaves us stunned with joy, vibrant colors, agile script and thought-provoking story... A story, within a story, within another story, loosely based on the real-life Pakistani mystic Kuda Bux, who saw without his eyes, the rest is all invention, like everything else. Passionately delicate, colorful, fun, intriguing.
