My White City

The movie reflects the ecological environment of Sumgayit. After the collapse of the Soviet power, the old problems of the "new era" still persist. Although it is not mentioned in the movie, the new generation of people living in this city, which is named as Sumgayit, especially near poisonous plants, are born crippled and sick. There is a wide range of symbolic expressions in the film and there are interesting dream scenes.

Directed by Marahim Farzalibeyov, My White City leans on a strong ensemble — Sayavush Aslan, Rafael Dadashov, Yashar Nuri — 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 drama titles of 1994.
