A whimsical, visually lush fantasy about longing and desire, built on the intimate connection between a lonely scholar and a djinn who uses storytelling to awaken her to possibility.

A solitary scholar discovers an ancient bottle while on a trip to Istanbul and unleashes a djinn who offers her three wishes. Filled with reluctance, she is unable to come up with one, so the djinn tries to inspire her with his stories.
