Medieval Isfahan from the 1720s - the golden age of Iranian culture and art - a stunning city with minarets that look up to the sky, bright colours, enticing scents and exciting people. It is this colourful world of the exotic East of the Shah Abbas is the colourful setting where a talented girl has to fight against the fate that is not very kind to her.

Even when life's vicissitudes send the unnamed heroine to rock bottom, even when she has to endure much pain, the taste of misery and the sting of humiliation, she - open, pure, driven - manages to fight for her happiness, which is different for each of us and doesn't always fit into a cozy home with a caring husband and secure days.

Enjoy this bittersweet sensual tale of creativity and the independent spirit, of traditional crafts and the vicissitudes of fate that weave the threads of our lives into a pattern no less enchanting and vivid than the Persian carpets that the unnamed heroine weaves with great skill and imagination.
