In this enchanting silent drama, Ernst Lubitsch masterfully weaves a tale of forbidden love and tragic fate in 1920s Arabia. The story revolves around two lovesick heroes: Yeggar, a hunchback clown yearning for the beautiful dancer Yannaia, and Nur-Al Din, a handsome cloth merchant who captures the heart of the sheik's favorite slave girl Sumurun. As the sheik's favoritism is threatened by love, desperation, and deceit, the film builds towards a shocking climax that will leave you breathless.
