In this finale of Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life", the director adapts the ancient anthology Arabian Nights with his usual blend of eroticism, wit, and slapstick humor. Following the story of young man Nur-e-Din and the slave girl Zumurrud, the film details the two's travels and trials, along with the experiences of other travelers as well.
