The Maiden Tower

A Love Legend

2019 · 95 min · Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

Two young people who love each other but cannot be reunited - Tuncay and Aytekin - have an endless love for each other. The reason for their separation is that Aytekin is the daughter of a king, and Tuncay is a simple engraver. Another issue is that Tuncay takes a shaman as his apprentice. As a result of a miracle, Tuncay arrives a thousand years later - in modern Baku and manages to find both the girl he loves and her father. But what has changed in Baku during these thousand years? Will our hero be able to reunite with the woman he loves in conditions that are completely alien to him, in the vortex of time?
