He soon became one of the most legendary mystic Islamist holy men in the orient. This documentary portrays the annual celebration of the saint’s reunion with Allah. About a million followers come together in Sehwan Sharif, to meet Him and forget their conscious selves. They undergo a process of individual and collective ecstasy.
