Synopsis

In the heart of modern-day Baku, a street-smart hustler named Ramin accidentally stumbles upon an ancient, dust-covered oil lamp buried in the ruins of the old city. Instead of a wish-granting genie, out pops Dzhir, a mischievous but washed-up jinn who’s been out of the game for centuries. Unlike the elegant, all-powerful spirits of legend, Dzhir is more of a Beetlejuice-esque trickster—loud, unhinged, and with a flair for the dramatic. His magic is unpredictable, his humor is dark, and his version of "help" usually makes things worse before they get better. As Ramin tries to use Dzhir to escape his dead-end life and win over the fiercely independent scholar Leyla (who also happens to be an expert in Azerbaijani folklore), he quickly realizes that wishes with Dzhir always come with ridiculous loopholes. Meanwhile, an ancient and terrifying div—a monstrous jinn of vengeance—is hunting Dzhir down, seeking revenge for an ancient betrayal. Between dodging supernatural debt collectors, outwitting corrupt businessmen, and dealing with a jinn who refuses to follow the rules, Ramin, Dzhir, and Leyla must navigate a city where mythology and modern life collide in the most absurd ways.
