Tunes of Sanatorium

1945. The women do the work in a remote village while the men are fighting the Nazis. A small group of deserters is hiding in the mountains and little Bahtiyar acts as the liaison between the men and the village.

Eleven years after her grandfather's passing, director Leylakhanim Ganbarli starts an emotional journey. She has never had the courage to say “farewell” to her late grandfather until now. Filled with valuable memories of their time together, she travels from Baku to Oglangala, her childhood village in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan’s autonomous republic situated between Armenia and Iran. As Leylakhanim reflects on her grandfather and awakens memories of him, her grandmother steps in to support her. Thus, the film “My Grandfather's House” explores not only the director's reminiscences but also marks a new stage in the relationship between grandmother and granddaughter.

The documentary sheds light on the lives of children who suffered physical and psychological trauma due to the terrorist attacks by Armenia on the eve of the Second Karabakh War.
