The legend of the Seven Seas

Sinbad

Poster for British TV show, Sinbad.
The Inland Sea, Dwerja. A shallow, semi-circle shaped, lagoon, surrounded by boathouses to one side and sheer cliffs to the other, with a cave leading to the sea.

Synopsis

Sinbad’s life takes a dark turn when an accidental fistfight leads to the death of Lord Akbari’s son. In a cruel twist of fate, his brother is killed as retribution, causing Sinbad to flee in despair. However, his grandmother, heartbroken by the loss, uses a magic talisman to curse him, imposing a relentless penalty: he cannot remain on land for more than a single day, or the talisman will constrict around his throat, strangling him. This curse binds him to a life of treacherous adventure at sea, where mysteries and marvels await him. Little does he know, Lord Akbari’s wrath still looms over him, for the lord considers the death of Sinbad’s brother far from a satisfactory settlement for the blood debt, perpetuating a deadly chase that follows Sinbad as he seeks solace among the waves.
