The Window

1991 · 82 min · ★ 6.0 · Drama

The film reveals the contradictions between the "educating" teachers and the "educated" students in the school, which is actually an orphanage and a boarding school, where lawlessness, violence, hypocrisy, and cruelty prevail. Forced to live in such contradictory conditions, but unable to adapt to these conditions, little Ahsan, who misses his native home, finds the only way out - he perishes by throwing himself out of the window. The film was shot on the basis of the motifs of Isi Malikzade's story "Nowruz Holiday of Wanderers".
