This animated movie is simply a brilliant concept of addressing the humanitarian side of what refugees go through in their daily lives coupled with the background of the famous worldly poet Rumi.
It was interesting, yet nice to hear the voices of 3 generations of popular actors: Millie Davis who plays Lamya, Mena Massoud who plays Rumi and Faran Tahir who plays Rumi's father Baha Walad.
Children 10 ish and above should be able to handle the " monster element"
Cleverly captured in an animation for family viewing teaching some lessons of good and evil, alongside compassion and hope.
Love it!!

An interesting Concept addressing Humanity
Loose and Nonsense
If I want to describe this movie in a word, I have to say: Nonsense! It had nothing to do with Rumi, Except just his name and the book whose cover has been shown to the audience thousands of times!! Regardless of all the incorrect information about this famous Persian-speaking poet.
The storyline was weak and loose. The characterization was almost awful. We can not identify with the main character of the film at all. At the same time, the rhythm of the film was very slow and boring.
Honestly, I couldn't finish it! (Time is gold!!)
To be fair, I just liked the music of the movie! That's all!
