India's second sound film beautifully narrates the ancient Persian love story of Shirin and Farhad from Nizami Ganjavi's Shahnameh. Farhad, a gifted sculptor, falls deeply in love with Queen Shirin. King Khusro, wishing to keep them apart, tasks Farhad with an impossible feat: demolishing the mighty Besutun mountain on his own. Despite the immense challenge, Farhad's unwavering love drives him. The film concludes with their poignant union in death, as Shirin's tomb miraculously opens to receive him.
