Long ago in the ancient land of Persia, King Sharaman had 2 sons. But he longed for one thing: a son who would love him for himself, not for the crown. And on one fateful day, Sharaman saved a young urchin from the streets of Nasaf who grows to become Prince Dastan. Years later the prince must set out on a long journey to find the mythical Sands of Time and save all the prince holds dear.
