The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam
Kamran is just a 12 yearold boy at our day who discovers that his ancestor is your 11th-century Mathematician, Astronomer, Poet of Persia, Omar Khayyam. The narrative was handed on in his family from 1 generation to the next, now it is his own responsibility to keep the story alive for centuries. The picture takes us out of the contemporary to the epic past at which the association between Omar Khayyam, Hassan Sabbah (the first founder of that the sect of Assassins) and their mutual love for a gorgeous woman separate them out of their eternal bond of friendship. Filmed almost entirely on location in Samarkand and Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
