Azur & Asmar
Once upon a time, in a green and pleasant land, lived blue-eyed blond Azur, son of a nobleman, and brown-skinned and dark-haired Asmar, son of the nurse, who raised the boys like brothers. Life intervenes and brutally severs their friendship.
But Azur does not forget his childhood companion nor the stories his nurse used to tell far across the sea. When he grows up, he sets off to the land of his dreams, in search of the Djinn Fairy. He meets up again with Asmar, who is also determined to find and conquer the Fairy, braving all the dangers and witchcraft of a fantastic world.
This dazzling film, conveying values such as tolerance of difference, equality, and openness to others, is ideal to end this year 2023.
