Maste Eshgh (مست عشق) is a sweeping historical drama directed by Hassan Fathi, set in 13th-century Konya. The film chronicles the transformative encounter between the celebrated theologian Jalal ad-Din Rumi and the wandering mystic Shams Tabrizi, whose radical spirituality shatters Rumi's ordered world and ignites within him a consuming divine love.
Through intense philosophical exchanges and a bond that defies convention, Shams leads Rumi toward profound self-discovery, inspiring the poetry that would echo through centuries. Yet their closeness provokes jealousy and fear among Rumi's students and family, weaving a story of devotion, conflict, and transcendence.
Visually opulent and emotionally resonant, Maste Eshgh is essential viewing for lovers of Persian history, Sufi mysticism, and world cinema. Stream it now on Top Local Videos.
