Original Title: Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu

When Alparslan (Barış Arduç) is nine or ten years old, he has a dream in which he is in the Battle of Badr; the mysterious man in white with whom he is talking gives Alparslan a sapling and shows him the door in the middle of the desert. “Open the locked doors! A tree knows its soil!” he says. Waking up, Alparslan finds his mother planting the sapling he saw in his dream. He excitedly tells his mother about his dream. His mother interprets it as meaning that Alparslan will make a great conquest and open the door to new homelands for the Turkmen.
