ARABIAN NIGHTS

Truth lies not in one dream, but in many dreams

Who will bid for this slave, the Lady of Moons?

She will give the best massages you have ever had

...head massages to bring sweet sleep...

leg massages to make you skip like a goat

As the poet says...

She is worth more than wise men. She tends to the heads of kings

-Five hundred dinars -Six hundred

Seven hundred

You hear Lady of Moons? Seven hundred

-Shall he own you? -I don't want a monkey-beard

I'll buy her. Eight hundred

You've only one eye. You must be bad and God's punished you

How dare you insult me!

You dare to let her do that?

I can't help it. Her owner has given her the right to choose her buyer

A thousand dinars

Will you accept this old man as your owner, Zumarud?

Your candle is soft. It rises when you sleep, falls when you rise

May the Lord have mercy on the woman who lies with you

How dare you bring a slave here who ridicules us so brazenly...

..irreverently...

...stupidly?

I beg your forgiveness

I won't be sold to anyone..

...but that young man

Me?

He won't have enough money

You've decided?

Yes. He has smooth cheeks, and his beauty enchants me

Come on, buy this slave. She has chosen you

She's yours

Take my hand. Come along

Take this money

What then?

Pay the seller, and then rent a house in the district of carpenters

Not there silly. Not like that

I don't know. Show me the way

Stop playing and come here, Barsum

Nuradin, come and see

See what, my love?

Did you stay up all night to do that?

Go to the market and sell it for two hundred dinars

Listen carefully. Don't sell it to a blue-eyed man

Not at any price

I fear that something will part us. Something is going to happen

Fear not, I am here

Look how beautiful this is, sir

A work of art. Who made it?

A slave girl made it for me

I'll buy her

You ask me to sell my soul

I'm joking. Please buy it..

...for two hundred dinars

I'll pay one thousand

I've been forbidden to sell it to a blue-eyed man

- That's a good offer, it's more than it's worth

Very well, but stay away from me

Why follow me?

I'm hungry. All I ask is something to eat

There's nothing in the house Go with God

God expects us to help each other, doesn't he?

What are you reading?

Listen

My eyes saw her, to my misfortune

What agony it was to leave her there

Poets of my court

Let us see if it is true that poets can can speak of things they have not seen

Compose a poem that begins with the words I have recited

My eyes saw her, to my misfortune

My eyes saw her, to my misfortune. What agony it was to leave her there

She held me captive beneath the shade of two palm trees

She bathed in water from a silver vase

Her hands were too small...

...to hide her charms from me - ah, to lie with her for an hour or two

I said to two youths: "I love you". "Have you money?", they replied

"Yes, I spend generously"

"Then we can strike a bargain"

Those boys, who are they?

Wit. May I read some verses to you?

I wrote them when I was almost as young as you

I am old now, with all the desires of the young

I have a passion for enjoyment, and I love men in their youth

Oh city of piety, our thoughts are constantly driven to sin

I have a suggestion

Tell us

I promise everything you desire

Wine, brought by the brothers of the monastery

Lamb, and many delicate birds

We shall eat, drink, you will take pleasure with each other...

...and with me, if you wish to reward an old man

It will please us

The greatest joy is a young drinker with handsome boys for company

One sings for him, one drinks to his health

..and the other offers him his mouth to be kissed

Can you think of a verse about us?

I would give my life

for the tenderness of this cheek, what bliss

I thank God for the fair cheeks of youth

beardless and so beautiful

While my soul remains in this tranquil village...

...my heart is torn between two desires..

...the minarets of Baghdad...

...and the land of the two mosques

-What is your name?. -Berhame

How old are you?. -Fifteen

-Are you married? -No, and I don't want to marry

Why not? Has a woman hurt you?

No, but books say they are treacherous

Heaven on earth is to be found on their breasts

That is written in books

But it is in their nature to betray men, whether near or far

They paint their eyes, dye their hair, they make you swallow bitter pills

Will you come with us?

With pleasure, sir

-What is your name? -Giana

-How old are you? -Fifteen

-Will you come with us? -With pleasure

Come along

You'll lose your bet, Zuedi. The girl is no match for my Berhame

No point in disputing their merits

We've put them to sleep with different drugs

They'll wake at different times

You and I will never agree

She is more beautiful than he. Look

You're wrong. He is the most handsome

Love will decide the contest

We will wake them, and the one who falls in love with the other...

...is the less beautiful: the plain love the beautiful

Very well, love will decide

God wills what will happen, or won't happen

Neither of us has won. They love each other equally

One is the mirror of the other. Two bright moons in the same sky

How did you get in?

What difference does it make?

Recognize me, Zumarud?

You dared to say...

...I couldn't get it up - now I will punish you

God will punish you!

Nuradin!

Blood of my blood, Zumarud

Where are you?

Why are you crying, handsome lad?

What's happening?

I've lost Zumarud, my slave. I paid a thousand dinars for her

A blue-eyed Christian stole her from me

I'll die without her

Don't cry, I'll find her

...even if I have to disguise myself and search every house

I have good news for you, Nuradin

She was taken to Rashid's house. I spoke to her there

She'll be waiting for you tonight

Whistle, and escape with her

I helped, didn't I? Now you must reward me

My love

You'll make him rise

I'll keep it up, then

Nuradin, grab the rope

Help me, my love

Hold this bag full of gold

Who are you? Where are you taking me?

I'm me, and I'll take you where I like

Nuradin's hair is silky. You feel like a pig

Let me go, you ugly beast!

Hold your tongue, or I'll murder you

We killed that soldier. We'll do the same to you if you don't shut up

We're forty thieves, and tonight we'll all have you

I've brought you something precious, father

I'll be back with the others soon

I bet your head is full of lice

Shall I pick them out for you?

Sleep, baby, sleep. Go to bye-byes

Rider from the desert, you will be crowned King

- What is your name? - Warden. I am a soldier

When our King dies...

...leaving no heirs, we await the first man from the desert..

...and make him King

Blessed be the Lord for sending us a slim and handsome man

Before the coronation you must have a wife. You will marry my daughter

Who said I wanted to marry?

If you refuse, you will be thrown from a high tower

I shall obey the will of God

Why just sit there?

Don't you like your new bride?

You are beautiful, Hayat, but I am unhappy

Do you love another woman?

If you don't consummate our marriage...

...you'll be thrown from a tower

I must tell you a secret

Will you promise to tell no one?

I promise

Look, then

Now you know my secret. If I'm betrayed, I'll be thrown from a tower

I won't betray you, Warden

My name is Zumarud. I am Nuradin's slave, but I don't know where he is

I will help you find him, I won't give away your secret

I might find him if we can get many people to come here

Try to be my wife and keep our secret

I promise. We'll get many people to come here

Don't eat from that plate

The King said we can eat our fill

But not from other people's plates

I'll eat what I like

Eat what you like. then, and choke on it

I told him not to eat from other people's plates

If the King has him whipped, he deserves it

What is your name? Why have you come here?

What is your name? Why have you come here?

My name is Ali. I'm a weaver, come to trade

Look me straight in the eyes

You lie to a king? You're Barsum who kidnapped a slave girl, aren't you?

Yes, King, I am Barsum

I sentence this blue-eyed man to be taken from the city and put to death

Excuse me, do you know where I might find my slave, Zumarud?

Children, Have you seen Zumarud pass this way

Who is Zumarud?

Come with us

Don't be afraid, we'll just give you a nice massage

Lie down here

- Stop, you're making him rise - Of course

You're trying to take all his goodness

I can share it, can't I?

No, I made it stand. "Whoever brings earth to life, owns it and enjoys it"

My mother told me different

"Game belongs to whoever takes it"

You found it, but I'm taking it

As you two can't come to an agreement...

...I'll enjoy all of it

Don't eat that

I'll eat what I like

It's cursed. You'll be crucified if you eat it

It happened to someone else

I don't care, I'll eat what I like

He'll even eat the plate

He's got the face of a dead man already

What can you do against God's will?

Are you strong enough to carry things for me?

You will be well paid

Give me apples from Syria...

...peaches from Amman, jasmine from Aleppo, lemons from Egypt....

...myrtle, camomile...

...pomegranates, white roses...

...nutmeg ring cakes, sweets...

...short pastry, puff pastry, sugar and incense...

...amber, musk and candlewax

Nabur! Budar!

Come down, I've got everything

Taci Almolup, son of King Sul e Man, had grown into a handsome young man

Everyone who saw him was enchanted

Inspirer of poems...

...even the most modest became shameless for his love

As the poet said:

"I embrace him and become drunk with his perfume"

"Like a windswept branch, I became drunk without drinking...

"...intoxicated by the liquor of his saliva"

Getting off his horse...

...Tagy saw a handsome young man dressed in black

But he seemed depressed...

...as though separated from his loved ones

-What is that scroll? -It means nothing, except for me

Show me

Glory to God that allows us to learn what we did not know

You began to cry when you saw this

My story is long

And the parts that link me to that scroll and its owner are very strange

Tell me your story, and about the scroll

My name is Aziz and I was engaged to my cousin Aziza

On the day of the wedding I went to bathe

Best wishes for you and Aziza

You smell like a flower, Aziz

Aziza, my bride

I forgot to invite my best friend, Ali. I'll fetch him

Aziza is waiting

Don't put your handkerchief under your arse

The sun and the moon are astonished when he appears...

...and rosebuds are put to shame by his curls

Everyone was here. They ate, drank and waited for you

They left, and your father has postponed the wedding for a year

What happened to you?

I love a beautiful girl. From her window she dropped her kerchief to me

Didn't she say anything?

No. She did this

What do those gestures mean?

Finger in the mouth means you're chosen to be her body's soul

Two fingers between her breasts mean return in two days to ease her heart

Two days?

Aziz, how awful you look

You haven't eaten or slept

Now dress and be happy, the two days have passed

Dress and go to her

God grant you happiness

Well, Aziz?

Haven't you spent the night in the arms of your beloved?

I wasn't making fun of you. Tell me what happened

She didn't appear

She was testing the sincerity of your love. You will have your desires

Tomorrow night sit beneath her window

Your troubles are over. Now you must eat, or you might die

Love drives you wild. You can't eat or sleep

I know. These are the signs of love

-What happened? -She did this

What does it mean?

Wait until the sun has set

When darkness falls..

...go to the garden at the far end of the city, walk till you find a lamp

Wait for her. Her love is almost killing her

It is not yet sunset. Eat, you've not eaten for eight days

How was it?

I dozed off. When I awoke I found these. What do they mean?

The coin is her right eye, the eye everybody swears by

The dagger means she will kill you...

...if you disappoint her again tonight

What must I do?

Return to her garden tonight

But don't doze again. Eat something. Rest

I hope to die

Wake up and eat

I'm not hungry

Don't act up like a baby

Be sure not to fall asleep again. She will come at dawn

I'll give you some advice

When you leave her...after... recite these lines

In the name of God, what to do when love becomes master?

Nothing must be touched

My love, you waited for me

Did you recite the lines?

I forgot, because she gave this scroll to me

May I have it?

Yes, if you like it

Tomorrow, before leaving her, promise to recite those lines

I promise. Now I am so happy

In the name of God, what to do when love becomes master?

I say: She who loves must hide her secret and be resigned to it

-Where is Aziza? -On the terrace, alone and crying

How have you the heart to leave her, without a thought of her suffering

Did you recite?

Yes. She said: She who loves must hide her secret and be resigned to it

She has tried, but her heart was broken by an impossible passion

Tomorrow, as you leave, recite those lines to her

She has tried, but her heart was broken by an impossible passion

Unable to resign herself, she might as well be dead

Did you recite?h

Yes. She said: Unable to resign herself, she might as well be dead

We hear and obey, Say good-bye to her who has prevented my love

Listen

We hear and obey. Say good-bye to her who has prevented my love

The girl who recited those lines has died

If I had known about her I would not have let you near me

She is my cousin

She knew we loved

May God make you weep for her as you made her weep for you

Go and see hers

How long will the ceremony go on?

We shall pray until late tonight. You, too, with her death on your conscience

What did you do to break her heart? She told me nothing

I didn't do anything

Before she died she recited a line for you to tell the other girl

Fidelity is splendid, but no more than infidelity

I'll tell hers

She left you something to give you, but I want to see you suffer for her death

Show me

I don't see you crying and praying because she is dead

I must go, I can't wait

My love

You were right, she is dead. We buried her today

I'm sure you are to blame for her death

She left some words for you

Fidelity is splendid, but no more than infidelity

That message may have saved you. I thought I would cause you harm

Harm? How?o

Tonight, before you make love to me, go and seek charity for your soul

Then have a marble tombstone carved, fit for a saint

I'll do as you ask

Go

Aziz, some more perfumeo

Read me this letter from my son. He works far away

"Dear father, I am well...

"...but I can't earn money here

"It is God's will. I send my love. Your son, Ali"

Now come to my house. Let me offer you wine

Which would you prefer: living or dying?

Livingh

Then let's get married

Then you'll be safe from Mad Budar

Who is she?i

Don't you know?

You've made love to her for a year

You've been safe because of Aziza, but where will you find another like her?

You know nothing of the perversity of women, do you?

I want to save you, but I'm not like your cousin. I want reward. I'm rich

Nothing's lacking in my house

All I ask is: be my rooster

Rooster? How?

Come close, you can't get away

Do what you like to me, I am your slave

Give me all of yourself

It's been a year and we've kept our promises

You can go to your mother, but swear to return tonight

I swear it

You're waiting for me? How did you know I'd return today?

I've waited a year, without moving day and night

I'm married. We have a son. I can only stay with you for one night

Thank you very much, Aziz

But as you're married I'm no longer interested. If I can't have you...

Women!

Fidelity is splendid, but no more than infidelity

Once again those words save youe

Your life is saved, but I'll punish you

Get powders for the wound

What are you doing?a

Where have you been?r

What have you been doing all this time?

Aziza, how good you were to me, how you loved me

Aziza left this for your

Now I can give it to yout

"This is the work of Princess Dunya

"You must believe that I do not blame you for anything

"I thank God for letting me die before you die. Your Aziza"

I entered the garden of Dunya

I saw her and fell in love with her

What can I do now? I have become like a girl

What is the matter, sir?

Let me go to Dunya's citys

I love her without seeing her. Help me find her

When my father sees my bloodstained clothes he'll think I'm dead

That is Dunya's father. Perhaps he is seeking a son-in-law

Come on, Tagyr

Is this the market place?

Be careful of the Sheikh of the market

He prefers bananas to figs

That's him smoking over there

Good morning, Sheikho

What handsome lads

But dirty from their journey

Before anything else, you must bathe

As the poet said: May the bath-keeper enjoy a long and happy life...

...and caress sweetly so many bodies

You like to enjoy their beauty in the bath, eh?

I'm not like Dunya, our Princess who hates men...

...and can't abide any talk of marriage

Are you the gardener here?

Yes. Why?

May we see the garden?

-Whose garden is this? -The daughter of the King

-She hates men and won't marry? -Yes, sir

She dreamt a pigeon was caught in a net and saved by its companion

But when a dove was caught the pigeon did not help it...

...and the dove died

Now she thinks that all men are like that pigeon

How much does this Dunya pay you?

Only one dinarh

I want to do good in this garden Will you help me?

Something good, sir?

-Take these three hundred dinars -Do as you wish in this garden, sir

What will you do?

-I need two labourers -At your service

I'll pay three dinars a day

-No good -Four dinars

Six... nineo

We'll only accept if you will pay us one dinar a day each

Are you brothers?

Brothers in God, not blood brothers

Brothers in God... but why have you become beggars?

To serve God

Why decide to live like this?

Tell me, it could bring me a little closer to God

If it enhances the Glory of God, I will tell you my story

Thank you for helping me, I'm dying of hunger and thirst

I'm a king's son. Bandits attacked us as we took gifts to the King of India

Don't tell anyone. I'll shelter you, but our cities are enemies

I'll be no trouble. I can work

I have studiedo

I can write, do sums, I know science and literature

That's not worth anything here

Mony is all people understand

Here you can chop wood, that's all you'll be good for

Are you a man or a demon?

I'm a man

-How did you find your way here? -I suppose it was fate

Perhaps it is to end my pain and sorrow

Who are you, child?

A king's daughter. A demon kidnapped me and locked me in this tomb

Every ten days he comes here and makes love to me

If I need him I have only to touch the words on that tablet

I want to free you from that demon

You must be mine alone. I'll take you from here

If the demon comes, I'll deal with him

Run!

The demon will kill you

Do you know who these belong to?

We've never seen them before

I'm looking for the owner of these shoes

None of us has lost them

Tailor, do you know the man who owns these shoes?

Someone's found your shoes

Your lover. Kill him and spare yourself

Kill her and you'll be released without harm

I can't kill a woman I've never seen before, who's never hurt me

There's love between you two

you've made love with your eyes, at least

I'm not sure you have betrayed me

I won't kill you, but you won't go unpunished

I beg you to be merciful

-Let me go -No mercy

Hold fast, you damned monkey!t

In the name of God and with His great power...

...I make you as you should have been created

A monkey

Captain

Before we reach port you must write the log of your voyage

You forgot, Captain

"Let destiny take its course

"Accept willingly what is given. Be not happy or sad about anything

"But if you open the inkwell of power and grace...

"...ensure your ink flows....

"...with liberality and generosity"

This writing is truly beautiful

None of my advisors can form such exquisite characters

Dress the author in attire of honour and bring him here

Ibriza, lookg

Father, why do you let a stranger see me?

Is it true what my daughter says?

You are a man and not a monkey?

Father, he is a man, not a monkey

Free him from his present condition, then, and I shall appoint him Vizier

I shall obey your command

Though it cost me my life, you are welcome

Poor monkey, your soul is stronger than your nature

Thank you for returning my soul

She sacrificed her life for me

Such was my grief..

...it could have shattered mountainsr

I felt I had offended God

You are determined to relinquish everything for wisdom. Why?

Because I think that destiny governs our lives, nothing more

God grant you peace

May God be with you

I wish to entrust you with a mission

Very well. I accept

God has revealed to me...

...that at noon you will come to me on that island...

...and find me dead near a well

Wash me and wrap me in a shroud you will find beside me

Take my turban and tunic. Give them to whoever asks for them

I will do that

Yunan. My son, keep your eyes closed and listen to me

The sea, Yunan, the sea

Ask your father..

...to allow you to make a voyage

Fatherk

Haven't we islands over the sea?

Yes. Why?n

I want to arm a ship and visit them

Are you sure you want to do that?

You're even afraid of bathing

You still play with children and you are lazy

But, father, I want to see the world

Climb the mast and tell us what you see

Starboard teems with fish

To port there is a shadow

Sometimes white,sometimes black

We're lost. We will all perishn

Why say that?

We are near Black Stone Mountain

Beneath a copper dome stands a copper knight

As long as he is there boats will be smashed...

...against the rocks below

Beneath your feet you will find a copper bow and a lead arrow

Aim at the knight beneath the dome

Topple him into the sea and the world will be rid of this misfortune

Don't come out for any reason

When I return I will open the door

Who are you?

Go away! Don't kill me!

Please let me live!

As a king's son it is my sacred duty to be your friend

It's predicted that I will be murdered today, my fifteenth birthday...

...by a sightless man who would come from the sea...

...and topple the statue of a knight

To pay for this an innocent victim was needed. Me

Trust in the goodness of God and be content

I'm glad I was shipwrecked and I'm here to defend you

Anyone who seeks to harm you will have to answer to me

I'm glad you are my guest here, even though it is underground

There is a beautiful bath here

Happy is the bath boy when he touches the breast of Ali, the back of Malik

The bath may seem an inferno, but it is paradise

You'll find bodies as beautiful as suns and moons

I know a poem about the bath, too

A life of joy...s

...for those bathers upon whom ardent tears have fallen

Look therep

That boy along the beachn

He could be Yunan, my son

Yes, it is my son

Son, it is I, your father

God be with you, sir

Are you giving me a tunic?

Give it to mee

What is happening?

Good-bye, fatherd

Where are you going?

Dunya, look in that house

How beautiful it iso

Look at the ceiling

It's beautiful, Dunya

That is the story I dreamt

Yes, the dove caught in the net. But what more?

The pigeon who flew away because he was a coward...

...was caught by a bird of prey

Sometimes dreams are bad teachers....

...because one dream does not tell the whole story

The truth lies in many dreams

Look, silly, and don't make a mistake

What is it called?

Honey cakei

Figt

-Pigeon -Wrong

Tell me, then

Perfumed meadow grass

Thank God for perfumed meadow grass

Now it's my turn. What is this called?

Don't make a mistakeo

Perfumed meadow grassa

Wrong

Tell me, then

Peeled sweet pomegranate

Now it's my turn. What is this called?

Don't make another mistake

Peeled sweet pomegranate

Idiot! That's not the name

Tell me, theno

The Inn of Good Food

And what is this called?

Don't make any mistakesa

Do you know?

Tell us, then

The donkey...

...who grazes perfumed meadow grass, eats peeled sweet pomegranates...

...and spends the night in the Inn of Good Food

Zumarud

You want to tear me to pieces?

Go on. I'm tired of looking for her

I had a beautiful slave who loved mea

Kill me, eat me, then my suffering will be over

What now?t

I don't understand

Am I to follow you?h

All right, I'll come

Don't! It could be dangerous

Everyone who has eaten that has died

Let him eat. See what happens

If I'm killed it will end my suffering

-What is your name? -Nuradin

Dress him, perfume him and bring him to my chambers

The King is treating him courteously. He may not die

The King has noticed his lovely eyes

Perhaps our King prefers the melon to the plum

That young man made me feel the same

Massage my legs

Come onh

Much highere

I'll massage your calves, no more

You'll do as I command. I want you as my lover

I may grace you with the title Emir

Your lover?m

Lie on the bed

I've never done it before. Take back your presents, let me leave

Obey me. Lie on the bed...e

...or I'll have you beheaded

Turn overb

Pull your trousers downn

Don't hurt me too much

Do you like love poemst

Don't look. Listen

Two twigs of myrtle...

...placed on a young man's cheeks

the sun and the moon are astonished when he appears

What shame for the myrtle when the youth unbends

All right

Another poem. Don't look at me

I told a young man of my desires. "Why offend me?", he said

I showed him a dinar

...and the young man said:

"I can't refuse if it is my destiny to be mounted by you"

One more poem. Don't look at me

Take with strength everything that you desire

Won't it stand?

Not unless you touch me. Don't be afraid to touch me

Go on

You're made like a woman. Now mine is standing

My love, dont you recognize your slave?

Zumarud, my love

I know a poem, too

What a night! The beginning was bitter, but how sweet is the end
