Originally released as a motion picture in 2011. Based on: I ne bylo luchshe brata / Maksud Ibragimbekov. The locations in the film -- the house, garden, streets, post office and bath-house -- are exact replicas of Baku, Azerbaijan in the 1970's and during WW2.
The story of two temperamentally different brothers takes place in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku in the 1970s. The elder brother Jalil is a married postal worker who keeps bees as a hobby. Like those creatures, he approaches life with measured care. Younger brother Simurg is by nature more adventurous and in contrast to his sibling is capable of going after his goals, not just dreaming about them. When both brothers fall in love for the same beautiful girl, their differences become apparent once again. -- The story of Dzhalil's life begins during the Second World War and ends in the 1970s. It is a story of an Azerbaijani family, a story of the relationship between two brothers, tragically unresolvable, which leads in the end to the death of the main character.
