Arabian Nights

Set amidst the backdrop of an ancient kingdom, "Arabian Nights" begins with the intentions of a young Arabian sultanas, Scheherazade who must find a way to save her life and her husband's kingdom. In her search, she gets an idea from the master storyteller who tells her, "People need stories like they need bread."

Scheherazade spins tales of comedy, tragedy, romance and magic captivating her Sultan husband Schariar (Dougray Scott) with stories so entertaining, so replete with valuable life lessons that his hateful vengeance dissipates. In the end he proclaims happiness and love for his wife.
