Directed by Nariman Aliev
★★★
THE stark difference — generational, religious and patriotic — between a Crimean Tatar father and teenage son are explored in this intriguing debut feature by Nariman Aliev.
Mustafa (Akhtem Seitablayev) insists that his son Alim (Remzi Bilyalov) accompanies him to take the body of the latter’s dead older brother Nazim from Kyiv back to Crimea to be buried alongside his mother. Mustafa bans Nazim’s wife from attending the Muslim funeral, locking her up in a closet to stop her.
