The Second Curtain

Seven friends decide to play a game at their dinner party, in which each member needs to read aloud all incoming text messages or put phone calls on speaker for all to hear. This causes many revelations to materialize.

"Dalan" is a film that tells about dead-end life situations that anyone can get into. In the film, several intertwined stories are built around the main plot line - the betrayal of a young wife to her despotic husband.

A young woman seeks escape from the suffocating atmosphere at home and the Azerbaijani capital Baku is portrayed as a wonderful, blue-grey intermediate zone where modernity and tradition collide. In the words of Allen Ginsberg: "None of us understand what we're doing, but we do beautiful things anyway."

Remake of the 1994 Azerbaijani film ‘Qara Volqa’.
