Bayram Axşamı

The interesting events that happen to a 30-year-old city dweller on the eve of the magnificent celebration of Novruz in Baku. Bayram, who has been living an unsuccessful life, is determined to put an end to all his failures on this Novruz holiday. In accordance with tradition, he also makes a wish and jumps over a bonfire. The wish he wishes for is to live a problem-free life like a child! However, if you don't want to end up in an unthinkable situation, you should be careful about what you wish for. Otherwise, you may end up in a dead end like the hero of our film. His wish turned his life upside down and shocked his friends, fiancée, and everyone around him. No one can find a way out of the ridiculous and unbelievable situations he finds himself in. Moreover, since his wedding is only a few days away, the situation is getting even more complicated. His life is getting more difficult every passing day.

Directed by Toğrul Məmmədov, Bayram Axşamı leans on a strong ensemble — Islam Mehraliyev, Oksana Rasulova, Jamil Mammadli — 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 comedy titles of 2017.
