Ashik Kerib
Directed by Sergei Parajanov, David Abashidze
Produced by Georgia-Film
A lyrical, melancholic fairy tale about a wandering musician's impossible love and spiritual journey through a surreal Caucasian landscape.
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. Now presumed dead by those he loves, he performs for the poor and unfortunate on his journeys through the wilderness.
