(before) The Rubaiyyat of Omar Khayyam

“(before) The Rubbaiyat of Omar Khayyam” takes a comedic look at the moment just before Persian scholar Omar Khayaam decided to become a Sufi poet.

During his heated conversation with a clay bowl of wine, Omar realizes that it’s best to seek closeness with God while he’s still alive, instead of waiting until he reaches the afterlife.

This film deals with the philosophical and sensual world of Omar Khayyam through his relation with a clay bowl of wine embodied by a woman.
