Summary:

A man returns home to Tunisia to bury his mother. After the burial, his father asks him to deliver a hat to a certain Sheikh named Muhyiddin. The man immediately sets out on an epic spiritual journey to find the long lost Sheikh. Throughout the trip, he is guided by a mysterious spiritual master and the many friends of the Sheikh he encounters along the way. As the adventure unfolds, we discover the rich life of this Sheikh and his uncompromising love for humanity. For under his teachings, different beliefs, faiths, and ways of life can only converge and become one. The more we learn about Sheikh Muhyiddin, the more we understand why he is venerated across cultures and continents. Looking for Muhyiddin is a deeply lyrical odyssey into the soul of Islam through the life and work of one of its beloved mystics: Ibn Arabi.
