Renowned as one of Persia's greatest poets, Omar Khayyam's brilliance extended into mathematics as well. His quatrains, crafted in the 11th century, continue to resonate globally. Lacking concrete details about his life, this film creatively imagines his story, highlighting his notable accomplishments, such as creating a new calendar and writing his iconic poems. Amidst this backdrop, Khayyam finds himself entangled in a romantic affair with a sultan's bride while bravely thwarting an assassination plot against the sultan's son, blending romance with intrigue in a rich historical tapestry.
