Behind the Scenes: I've Been Here Alone

Hasan (33), who works as a sales manager in a construction company, and his wife Farida (30) have not been able to have children for a long time. After a doctor's examination, Hasan learns that he is infertile. But Hasan, who is afraid of harming his masculinity, hides this information from his wife. At the insistence of Hasan's mother, who thinks that the problem is in Sevda, they go to a midwife who lives in a village for treatment.

Directed by Emil Guliyev, Behind the Scenes: I've Been Here Alone leans on a strong ensemble — Hikmet Rehimov, Arzu Abdulova, Azer Aydemir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2023.
