WHEN THE PERSIMMONS GREW (2019, Azerbaijan, 118 minutes):
Trailer: https://vimeo.com/328609957

Immobile in a home where the sands of time fall to the rhythm of the rural Azerbaijani sounds, a mother waits for her son. When he arrives, their conversations circle around existential questions and news from afar. Unrest cloaks the world outside. Mother and son grow closer. Silence melts into words and life springs between them. The son leaves and winter settles in to the forever-outdated house in which temporalities blur and past and present beat to the rhythm of the same clock.

MOTHER AND SON (2019, Azerbaijan, 120 minutes):
Trailer: https://vimeo.com/369812198

In rural Azerbaijan a mother welcomes her adult son who left home eight years earlier. In the calm rhythm of rural life, reflective silences punctuate their personal and philosophical conversations.

NAILS IN MY BRAIN (2020, Azerbaijan, 80 minutes):
Trailer: https://vimeo.com/393115360

A young man wanders through the ruins of what may or may not be his childhood home where each crumbling doorway opens up onto the past. Memories accost him. Memories of his school days, of loved ones long gone, of wonder, callousness, and defeat.
