Bab'Aziz: The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul
The Path Appears Only to the One Already Walking It
Directed by Nacer Khemir
A blind dervish and his granddaughter cross the desert toward a gathering of Sufis that no map shows and that meets once every thirty years. Khemir films a Sufi instruction directly: you find the gathering by trusting the heart that is already pulling you there. Stories fold inside stories until the prince staring into the pool turns out to be you, and the water is the soul learning to drown in God.

Rewatch With New Eyes
Now that you've seen the architecture, experience it again. The same film becomes a different film when you know what to watch for.
This time, watch for:
- Feel the love that transforms: what the heart sees that the mind cannot
- Mark the threshold: the old self dies, the ordeal transforms, the new self returns
