Genres

Drama

OverView

One of a series of short, open-ended dramas designed to stimulate discussion of values and ethics in relation to modern medical technology. This film considers the chronic patient's right to quality care, and the acutely ill patient's right to a hospital bed. Jean is suffering from multiple sclerosis and is almost completely paralyzed. It seems that the only ones who care about her are the nurses. With the arrival of a patient in need of an operation, it becomes apparent that chronic patients have little priority.

The Maiden Tower

March 2023 •Azerbaijani

Every person at least once in their lifetime encounters a soul mate - "their kind of man". But indecision or new types of relations that society forces us to follow, as well as the desire to keep up with everyone, do not allow us to see this person. Sometimes, in vain hope to reach some false ideals, we manage not to notice this kindred spirit, no matter how close he/she is. The plot of the film called "the Maiden Tower" tells about a casual acquaintance of two different people, each of them having their own personal relationships. However, during the acquaintance, both of them realize that they have met "their kind of man." Throughout the film, the characters have to make a choice: either keep everything as it is and return to their lives or start a new relationship with "their kind of man", and this is what each of them has always secretly dreamt.
