Zeynel and Ayşe are a pair of happily-married carpet merchants in 17th century Ottoman Istanbul. While on a business trip, Zeynel becomes a Good Samaritan to a lost traveller in red. He wakes up the next day discovering, to his horror, that he is the victim of a blood-sucking djinni. Now a djinni himself, he returns home desperate to reconcile his new life with his faith and former human identity, afraid to leave behind the woman he loves.
part 1 was more interesting than part 2, and I say that as a vampire superfan
