Azur is blond with blue eyes, Asmar has brown hair and black eyes. As little boys they fight and love each other like brothers. As adults they become ruthless rivals, in search of the Fairy of the Djinns, in medieval Maghreb, which is full of danger, magic and wonder.
Azur & Asmar: The Prince’s Quest is simply sublime! This animation jewel by Michel Ocelot is a feast for the eyes for both young and old! Michel Ocelot will receive an Honorary Cristal at the screening of his latest film The Black Pharaoh, the Savage and the Princess. It’s the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself once again into his universe!
