The story of two children brought up by the same woman. Azur, the son of a nobleman, and Asmar, the child of the nurse. As they grow up the nurse tells them many enchanting stories but their favourite is about the Djinn fairy waiting to be released from captivity by a good and heroic prince. One day Azur's father cruelly separates them, sending Azur to the city for a private education and banishing the nurse and Asmar from his home. Some years later Azur returns and sets out to a land far away to find the nurse and Asmar. Finally reunited, it soon becomes clear that Azur and Asmar will compete against each other to be the first one to rescue the fairy. A visually stunning film from the award-winning makers of KIRIKOU AND THE SORCERESS.
