        I apologize for being mistaken. Just wanted to give as much of the
movie as I remembered (for I have seen it long ago). Thought he was a
king, assumed the legend was mediaeval, tried to provide hints to identify
the movie, and, probably, failed. Mea culpa.

        Apologies again, thanks for elucidation.

        To complete the confession, looking back at Ashik Kerib, I notice
that there was nothing (for me, not acquainted enough with Georgian
Culture) to identify him and his environment as Georgian (apart from
intermediary titles). His Azerbaijan origin would solve the enigma of
Turkish-sounding language they all spoke.
