The Three Thousand Years Of Longing DVD is a romantic fantasy epic about a lonely woman who encounters a wish-granting djinn while holidaying in Istanbul.

The Three Thousand Years Of Longing DVD. Dr Alithea Binnie (Swinton) is an academic—content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom.

This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.
