It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Muhammad Asad remains largely obscure from the pages of history, even though he is one of the few scholars that made East meet West.This is the only documentary that traces the path Muhammad Asad trekked, and tries to figure out the spiritual influence under which Asad converted to Islam. It starts from Asad's birth place, Ukraine, where his family is interviewed. The film crew then travels to Austria to witness the naming of a square, located in front of the UN building, in honor of this esteemed scholar. The next stop is the deserted area of Jerusalem, followed by interviews and meetings in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, United States, Morocco and Spain. Full marks to the producers and directors. Kudos to the music producers for this touching background music.
