  • THE STORY:
  • "Women will always succumb to the lusts of the skin. This becomes Shahryar's only truth after finding his wife to have betrayed his bed. Heartbroken and mad with fury, the King of Kings executes his wife and loses all trust in the opposite sex. Knowing that he must take another wife, his only solution is to take a virgin every night as his wife and have her executed at dawn. "
  • ABOUT THE PROJECT:
  • Our project and story are original. One can consider it as a a prequel to the One Thousand and One Nights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thousand_and_One_Nights).
  • The legend states that "Shahryar is betrayed by his wife, which makes him believe that all women will, in the end, betray him. So every night for three years, he takes a wife and has her executed the next morning, until he marries Scheherazade.
