At the presentation ceremony, information was also given
about the feature-documentary film "270 moments of Shusha", which was
filmed as part of the project. It was emphasized that the screenplay was
created as a result of the efforts of a creative team of about 50 people. In
the film, Natavan's childhood was portrayed by Kubra, the daughter of Anar
Heydarov, a martyr of the Patriotic War.
Note that the heroine of the film is a 35-36-year-old woman
named Natavan. Originally from Shusha, Natavan is a photographer and lives in
France. 5-year-old Natavan, whose fate changed in 1992 due to the occupation of
Shusha, was forcibly displaced in her homeland for a long time, and her family
became martyrs. Natavan, who lost her mother when she was twenty years old,
moved abroad.
The events in the film take place in the period after the
Great Victory of Azerbaijan in the Patriotic War. Natavan came to visit her
ancestral home. The hero's intention is to touch history, convey the real
landscapes of Karabakh and the truths of Azerbaijan to the world through the
photo exhibition "270 Moments of Shusha".
Moreover, the film recreates a real historical event, the
chess game between the famous Azerbaijani poet Khurshidbanu Natavan and the
famous French writer Alexandre Dumas, which ended with the victory of the
khan's daughter.
The film will be released with English subtitles to a wider
audience.
There were speeches after the presentation.
