| Synopsis: This film tells the story of children
who weren't even able to find a morsel
of bread to eat durring the war.Vagif is
12 years old.His father is at war and
his mother, on a buisness trip.
The youth has lost his ration card, but
dosen't want the other boys living in
the same courtyard to feel any obligation
to share their bread with him.He is too
proud; begging for something to eat
would contradict his nature. Besides,
he realizes it would not be easy to gain
the right to share the bread. Vagif finds
a way to work for people and earn his
own bread rather than beg.
One interesting episode in the film
shows a young girl who has no doll.
She experiments with substituring
other things to make her own doll.
She tries the water tap, tying her
scaff around it. But the lower part
of the tap makes the doll's nose
appear too long.Then, she experiments
with her knee, tying the kerchief
around it and drawing eyes and a
nose. Her simple creation brings
her great satification..This doll
scene may well be one of the most
memorable in all of Azerbaijani cinema. |
