Salon
Set in the Middle Ages, Azur and Asmar is the story of two boys raised as brothers. Blonde, blue-eyed, white skinned
Azur and black-haired, brown-eyed, dark-skinned Asmar are lovingly cared for by Asmar's gentle mother, who tells them magical stories of her faraway
homeland and of beautiful, imprisoned Fairy Djinn waiting to be set free. Time passes, and one day Azur's father provokes a brutal separation. Azur is
sent away to study, while Asmar and his mother are driven out, homeless and penniless. Years later, Azur remains haunted by memories of the
sunny land of his nanny, and sets sail south across the high seas to find the country of his dreams. Meanwhile, back in her homeland, Azur's nanny has
become a wealthy merchant and Asmar has grown into a dashing horseman. Reunited but now as adversaries, the two brothers set off on a dangerous quest
to find and free the Fairy of the Djinns.
The film plays for one week only, from January 2 to 8, at the Gene Siskel Film Center.
