KING OF THE WIND (1989) is set in North Africa in the year 1727. As the show starts, an Arabian colt is being born. The horse, known as Sham, has a birthmark that the superstitious people of that time think is a bad omen so they want to kill him immediately.
A stable boy named Agba (Navin Chowdhry) convinces the stable master Achmet (Nigel Hawthorne) not to kill the horse. Achmet is fond of the stable boy and takes extra care of him because he is mute. It is probably this love for him that causes him not to follow his natural superstitions. Read on http://www.yessirnigel.com/king.html
