OL

The film made by two brothers, one a screenwriter and the other a director, was a failure. On the very day of the premiere, they were severely beaten by their sponsors, who had run out of money, and thrown out into the street at midnight. Wandering the streets of the city, the brothers walked towards their homes, passing by a nightclub. Suddenly, as if by fate, a girl who was beaten like them came out of the nightclub. They saw this girl as a muse for their next activities and brought her home. Early in the morning, they began to write and create a new script with the girl, as if they were opening a new page in their lives. The point is that they themselves become the heroes of the events that take place in the script, which they named "OL".

Directed by Namig Aghayev, OL leans on a strong ensemble — Namig Aghayev, Fikret Mamedov, Svetlana Hakimova — 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.
