Synopsis
In nineteenth-century Srinagar, a carpet-maker breaks from the rituals of his craft to pursue a transcendental dream - to weave a flying carpet that will deliver him from a life of subjugation. On this quest, he meets Abli Bab, a former maestro, who tells him of a fabled blue silk carpet, imbued with a mystical dye and marked by Solomon's star. Lost to time, this legendary creation may hold the key to his freedom. The runaway weaver, now disguised as a madman, seeks refuge in the company of a local dyer and his spirited daughter, Heemal.
