In the far and fantastical East, a future monarch searches for the most beautiful place in the world; a genie is freed from his prison after granting three wishes; a prince and a princess give up their throne to stay together; merchants venture into a desert cave filled with riches and dangers; a prophecy foretells that one day every human being will be identified by a symbol; meanwhile, treachery and honor clash on the battlefield.
