Ali and Nino (2016)
8/10
Maneuvers,they say.
17 March 2024
100 years have passed but actions of russian barbarians did not changed. This movie is ode to millions of lives who suffered from rashists horde.

Great sights of Azerbaijan, great acting, great plot. Adam Bakri as Ali Khan and María Valverde as Nino Kipiani is very natural. Must see.

Ali is an upper class Muslim man, whose family holds a great deal of power in Baku, Azerbaijan. At that time, before World War One, Azerbaijan was part of the Russian Empire. Nino, Ali's lover, is from neighboring Georgia and is Christian, but the two are deeply in love and elope to the countryside. The story follows the two, who get married, through World War One, which only sees some of Ali's friends sent off to war. After the Russians surrender, however, conflict comes to Baku. Ali fights the Bolsheviks with the Azerbaijani militia and Nino helps nurse wounded soldiers during the March Days massacre in Baku

The desert doesn't ask for anything, doesn't give anything and doesn't promise anything.
