Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Azerbaijan but set in a vague post-Soviet nowhere, capturing that specific 2000s era when Russian cinema was broke, weird, and weirdly sincere.
Director Khudojnazarov died in 2023 largely forgotten outside cinephile circles, despite this winning the Grand Prix at Karlovy Vary over much bigger films.
