It is based on an old story first made famous by the Persian poet Attar Neyshapuri in The Conference of the Birds.

As it was noted, a romantic riot against the anti-humanistic reality of religion is expressed in images of the main heroes of the play – Sanan and Khumar.

[1] Sanan, being a true believer Muslim and a notable scientist, dissuades from Islam and rejects its basis, blames all religions for separation of people.

Sanan - a person of high intellect and moral purity, getting a religious education, penetrates into it with great hesitations.

[2] Neither national, nor religious prejudices couldn’t redeem Sanan’s love to Khumar, in which they saw the highest demonstration of human being and destroyed all barriers standing on their way.
