Dans la première scène du film, nous voyons Ferdowsi qui par la fenêtre de sa maison regarde tristement le pont ruiné de la ville de Tus. À la cour du sultan Mahmoud Ghaznavi, Ferdowsi récite certaines parties de Shah Nameh. La vieillesse du poète est la fin de son histoire et se passe dans l’isolement et l’amertume. De temps en temps, il entend par sa fenêtre les enfants chanter ses vers de Shah Nameh. La scène finale est celle de sa mort : deux hommes portent son cercueil, et derrière eux seule la fille du poète les suit, larmes à l’œil.
