    The Rubáiyát Film Series continues with Kayvan Mashayekh’s The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam (2005), starring Vanessa Redgrave and Adam Echahly, on Tuesday, April 28, at 7 p.m. Kamran is a 12-year-old boy who is consumed by the responsibility of keeping the story of his heritage alive for future generations. Upon hearing a story from his dying brother, he travels from the United States to England and finally to Iran in search of the story of his ancestor, Omar Khayyam. The film takes the audience from the modern day to the epic past where the relationship between Omar Khayyam, Hassan Sabbah (the original creator of the sect of Assassins), and their mutual love for a beautiful woman separate them from their eternal bond of friendships.
