Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Based on ancient middle eastern fairy tales written thousands of years ago and passed down from generation to generation. Imad's beautiful true love (Amina) is snatched in the middle of the night from her dream, in which Imad shared with her, by an all mighty Djinn (evil Genie). Imad, only empowered by the pure energy of love and passion for her, finds himself having to cross 'the three valleys of the black desert', which are represented as the 'three vises of man' (Fear, Greed, and Lust) which come at him in different forms and are represented as both external and internal demons. Guided only by a fortuneteller and an angel, Imad must overcome these vises in order to prove the purity of his soul and reach the 'Tree of Life'. No man has been able to achieve this, but he must in order to save what matters most, his true love, Amina, from the supernatural Djinn. |

| Trivia | The project was originally meant to be a short film by Shahin Solimon as his first project out of film school and was intended to be shot on a mini camcorder. However, after liking the test footage, the team decided to expand it to a full feature and upgraded to production Panasonic Vericam Cameras, however with the same small experimental budget.
