And There Was No Better Brother

Directed by Murad Ibragimbekov

With Nino Ninidze, Sergey Puskepalis, Evgeny Tsyganov, Rufat Nazar and Elnur Gadirov

This story of two temperamentally different brothers takes place in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku during the 1970s. The elder brother Jalil is a married postal worker who keeps bees as a hobby. Younger brother Simurg is more adventurous by nature and capable of going after his goals, not just dreaming about them. Jalil has a recurring memory: once, when he was still a kid, his mother, pregnant with Simurg, took him to a women’s sauna. When both brothers fall in love for the same beautiful girl, their differences become apparent once again.
