Three Thousand Years of Longing follows Dr. Alithea Binnie, a wary scholar who awakens a centuries-old djinn when she frees him from a bottle. He offers to grant her three wishes if she will listen to his stories. Through a chorus of tales spanning deserts, empires and cultures, the film explores desire, fate, and the price of power. George Miller blends lush fantasy, romantic tension and mythic fable into a visually sumptuous, thought-provoking romance.
