Sergei Parajanov, born in 1924 in Tbilisi, Georgia, then part of the Soviet Union, to Armenian parents. From a young age, he displayed a sensitivity to color and a divine talent for painting. In addition to painting, he had a strong interest in film and music from an early age. In 1945, at the age of 21, studying in Moscow became a turning point in his life. He enrolled in the directing department of the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK), a renowned historical film school that has contributed many film masters to the European continent. He later became an assistant to his teacher, Dovzhenko, who is considered the ancestor of Soviet poetic cinema, and both Tarkovsky and Parajanov benefited from his teachings. Based on a story by Russian writer Lermontov. A wandering minstrel spends a thousand days and nights on his journey, doing his best to bring joy to people wherever he goes. Though his nomadic lifestyle seems aimless, it is not. He hopes that after a thousand days and nights, he can earn enough money to hold a wedding... if the bride is still waiting for him. Wandering minstrel Ashik Kerib falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy merchant but is spurned by her father, forcing him to roam the world for a thousand and one nights—though he has secured a promise from the daughter not to marry until his return. It is told in typical Paradjanov style, through a series of visually stunning 'tableaux vivants' overlaid with Turkish and Azerbaijani folk songs.
