Il Principe - Del Deserto
Set in the 1930s Arabian Peninsula, the story follows two rival sultans, Emir Nesib (Antonio Banderas) and Sultan Amar (Mark Strong). After years of peace maintained by a "no man's land" called the Yellow Belt, the discovery of oil by Texans threatens to reignite their conflict. The heart of the story focuses on Auda (Tahar Rahim), a bookish prince who must transform into a leader to unite the tribes.
