According to IMDB, the tale, which is based on a novel by Ibraheem Abbas, centers on an observant Jinn who discovers the truth about his royal ancestry while falling in love with a human girl.
Wearing a chic black suit, Johnny attended the Friday screening of his historical drama, Jeanne du Barry. He gave Maïwenn, who starred in the film but also wrote, produced, and directed it, praise at the festival.
