The Maiden Tower

Fidan lives in two time periods - the past and the present. In modern times, when entrepreneurship is developing, Fidan, a businessman who has lost his way and thinks that arbitrariness and the possibility of solving everything with money, falls in love with him, so he wants to privatize the "Maiden Tower" and somehow buys the tower. However, just as Fidan protected the tower from foreign usurpers in the past, he also fights against the businessman in the present. In the film, the girl's lover Sabir is also a militant young man who participates in the process of demanding rights at rallies and pickets.

Directed by Vagif Azeryar, The Maiden Tower leans on a strong ensemble — Fidan Akhundova, Sabir Mammadov, Halimat Mammadova — 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 fantasy titles of 2000.
