It's a very good film about youth of Avicenna (Ibn Sina) (980-1037). He was a philosopher, physician, and scientist. There are good eastern colouring scenes. For example, real-looking medical operations and true cruelty of warriors when they took the town.
My favorite scene is when the young man had bought a book without cover and he started to read in the book store at once. He had been seen by passing caliph who started him to examine about the content of that book. 'Who wrote this book?' - he said. 'The Aristotle, my master'. 'What is the higher state of form, boy?', 'The reason is the higher form of all forms' - Avicenna answered.
I guess this work will be good for young people which might to learn the selflessness for name of science.

P.S. I guess, there is no DVD copies of the film in any language. I've seen this film on TV.
