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.
„As this private family drama unfurls, we discover the reasons for Gabil’s sudden departure only gradually, in keeping with the leisurely pace of the camera as it pans across the picturesque surroundings. However, the wrongs of the past continue to simmer uneasily beneath the veneer of this innocent landscape, and it is only a question of time before they break the surface.“ – Martin Horyna, Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Azerbaijan has submitted the film as a candidate for foreign language film Oscar.
