Set against the backdrop of the seventh-century Iranian court, this love story centers on the passionate relationship between Khosrow, an Iranian prince, and Shirin, an Armenian princess. The narrative intertwines themes of politics, warfare, and erotic desire, exploring the complexities of love as both a conquering force and a source of unrequited longing.
