A story of a small Azerbaijanian family, which is being shaken to the core by an inexplicable disappearance.“ ”
Synopsis
A small Azerbaijanian family is shaken to the core by an incident. Father Samir, mother Fidan, and their eighteen-year-old son Machmud all seem to be independent-minded family members, but independence of spirit and action sometimes brings along estrangement, lack of understanding and compassion. The family beach trip turns out differently than expected.
END OF SEASON is an intimate play of emotions, small gestures often more meaningful than words
Imanov creates a portrait of quiet desperation which we watch with a certain fascination. One leaves with the feeling that this could be the start of a special career for this rising talent.
