Núrí se narodí se čtyřma ušima, a tak ho matka odveze z vesnice, aby mu pověrčiví vesničané neublížili. Cestou však matka zahyne při úplně stejné nehodě jako o tři měsíce dřív její manžel a Núrí „spadne z nebe“ do rukou posluhovače v súfijském klášteře. Tam vyrůstá, nastupuje duchovní cestu k Bohu, objevuje svůj nevšední talent jazyka a prožívá citové zmatky. To všechno však skončí, když klášter napadnou nájezdníci. Núrího unesou a skončí jako sluha Pravé ruky sultána – jeho život jako by začínal úplně znovu, na jiném místě, v jiných podmínkách. Po nějaké době se ale Núrí svým způsobem vrátí na pravou cestu – začne navštěvovat súfijského učitele, začne znovu psát poezii. Ale jeho život je znovu přetržen a Núrí se ocitá na ovčí salaši ve Španělsku – v cizím prostředí, cizím náboženství a cizím jazyku. Ale koloběh se znovu opakuje, v „dalším životě“ se ocitne v Severní Africe, opět se neomylně (i když ne přímou cestou) vrátí k súfismu, poezii a lásce, aby to vše opět ztratil a jako poustevník konečně došel klidu v oproštění od všeho světa. Kolotoč pestrých barev, zvuků a vůní vás vtáhne do svého víru, až budete mít pocit, jako byste se ocitli uprostřed Pohádek tisíce a jedné noci.
