              Sufism is the original Islam, in contrast with the Islam that we see nowadays. Sufism doesn't accept any form of fanatism or violence. In these days, when a war between civizations threatens the world, any serious intend for the understanding between East and West cultures is more than necessary. This documentary leads to the comprehension of the Islam's original philosophy, through the interviews with some sufi masters (Sheikhs) and their followers around the world, and giving special attention to the chapter about the so-called “Islamic Terrorism”.

              Una caravana travessa les muntanyes de l'Atles marroquí amb la missió de conduir al patriarca moribund al poble on va néixer, en el qual espera trobar a la fi repòs. El viatge es presenta ple d'incògnites, però Ahmed i Saïd, dos vividors, asseguren conèixer el camí. En un altre lloc, potser en una altra època, Shakib, bufó entre els taxistes, és reclutat amb l'encàrrec de vigilar la caravana i assegurar que la vídua del patriarca vegi complerta la promesa de la tribu. Desorientats, hauran de superar la neu, la persecució, l'assalt i el rapte, però en un gir quixotesc, Shakib farà que «les mules volin» per a travessar les infranquejables muntanyes i transformar amb la seva fe la destinació de l'expedició.

              There is an anarchist essence inherent in Islam, which deserves our attention. Koranic cosmology states that a human being in the state of nature is a ‘slave (or serf) of Al-lâh, just as a sunflower is a slave of the sun, because they are organically linked. The concept of submission to a Single Reality (al- islam) does not translate into submission to human institutions, rather the reverse: it leads to a rejection of all external coercion as contrary to the nature of things. Muslims reject the limits that the market and the institutionalisation of life impose on their freedom, as an inner space in which intimacy with Creation becomes possible. The freedom that Muslims recognise is not political freedom under protection of the State, but an inner state/space that enables us to reject the world of representations, reject the fiction of power that some sheathe themselves in. This is based on idea that human beings are noble in essence, that their state of nature (fitrah) is superior to their state of culture. Ibn Jaldún says: “The political and educational order is contrary to the power of the soul because it embodies an instance of external control”.This point explains why Islam has been described as ‘mystical anarchy’.
