What is Arabian Nights: Volume 1, The Restless One about? Toggle content

In a modern-day Portugal plagued by austerity, the stories of Arabian Nights are reimagined against the backdrop of a country in crisis. Unemployment spreads, forests burn, animals speak, and powerful men parade on camels, awaiting their chance to pay a mysterious sorcerer who promises to cure their impotence. In this surreal landscape, Scheherazade must use her cunning and charm to captivate the king with tales of love, loss, and the human condition. But as the nights wear on and the kingdom's troubles deepen, Sherezade's stories become increasingly poignant and surreal, reflecting the desperation and enchantment of a people struggling to survive in a world that seems to be falling apart.
