Caravanserai is a story set in Persian antiquity about a brother and sister who are adopted by a merchant called Uncle Babak. It is an exploration of the abuse of power within polygamy and the exploitation of sexuality through pedophilia. This story challenges the taboo of homosexuality by expressing very intimate desires and accounts between the male characters.
