Azerbaijan Film Days: Pomegranate Orchard

Nar Baği

drama, 2017, dir: Ilgar Najaf, 90’
in Azeri language, with Hungarian subtitles

Gabil returns home to the humble family farmstead, surrounded by an orchard of venerable pomegranate trees; since his sudden departure twelve years ago he was never once in contact. However, the deep emotional scars he left behind cannot be erased from one day to the next. A private drama set in a picturesque landscape which tells of wrongdoings simmering below the surface of seeming innocence. The movie which was presented with the Jury Award at the Eurasia International Film Festival in Kazakhstan, had its world premiere in the East of the West Competition section in Karlovy Vary.

The screening will be attended by main actor Gurban Ismailov.
