North Caucasians have always been known for their vigour, good health,
physical strength and longevity. Circassians paid great attention to

Film Concepts and objectives Jordan
is a mosaic of a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society, rich in
traditions and universal concepts of harmony and tolerance. Our film

conflict. The Circassians' presence in this land and their story is our
film story. |  |

The film story covers the arrival of immigrant Circassians to Ottoman Transjordan in the year 1900.Dostoyevsky once said 'Beauty will save the world'... and this film is based on such a perception.The film shows the different aspects of two cultures, the Bedouin and the Circassian, who were unwillingly thrown together by historical providence, creating a perfect recipe for controversy and violence but saved by the miraculous powers of innocent, unexpected love. This is a story of two young souls who fall passionately in love and by so doing bring about the reason for conflict and bloodshed... as well as for potential harmony and peaceful coexistence; the quintessence of drama, when the pendulum could swing in either direction.Starring Sahar Bishara, Azamat Bekov, Mohamad Al Abadi, Mohadeen Komakhov, Jamil Barahme, Bacir Shibzoukhov, Mahmoud Al Dmour, Ludmila Sharemeteva, Ibrahim ...>> full

Vienna, August 6 – Despite Moscow’s unwillingness to include the Circassians in its compatriot repatriation program and to support the return to the North Caucasus of members of that five-million-strong diaspora in the Middle East, the Adygey Republic has unilaterally boosted the quota for Circassian repatriates this year from 50 – Moscow’s figure – to 1400.
