Quirky. Real.
Real quirky.
Don't listen to negative reviews.
Try it.
Glorious depiction of a boring life turned around, for just a minute.
Some cruelty, strange passages and events.
Modern day Cinderella with some quirky realness.
Don't be afraid.
Try it.
I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad I saw it on a whim. It didn't take long for the silent story to captivate me, and having travelled myself to similar cultured places was surprised to see the authenticity. The story is an obvious take on Cinderella where the protagonist is trying to find one specific person who owns this bra. But with a unique culture twist. I enjoyed it very much
If you love good old 36 mm cinematography, if you love pantomime, if you love silent movie, and wish to be placed back 40 years in todays '' modern life'', then take a look at this one. its just phenomenal.
i havent seen thelike since i saw'' adventures of picasso'', swedish made 1978, to find the same kind of inner joy to view a silent film.
this is a masterpiece in its genre, extremely well made and acted. a recommend from the grumpy old man

Nurlan drives his train every day through rural Azerbaijan and a suburb of the megacity of Baku. There is so little space in this slum that the residents hang up their clotheslines over the railroad tracks.
During one of these rides, a nice blue bra gets caught on the train from Nurlan. Who in the district is the owner of the laundry? Nurlan sets out on an unusual mission to find the woman and maybe love.
The film by German director Veit Helmer tells the warmhearted story in quiet pictures and without dialogue. A bold cinematic experiment, only visually we follow the Protagonist on his extraordinary quest - experiment succeeded - highly recommended.

Great acting, beautiful shots, awesome music and most of all, an interesting story said without speaking a word.
Definitely for the more intelligent viewers.
