\n The Azerbaijani film \u2018Pomegranate Garden\u2019 is taking home
\n
\n two awards
\n <\/a>
\n from the XIII International Film Festival \u2018Eurasia\u2019 held in Astana, Kazakhstan. The film won the Special Jury Prize, and the actor Gurban Ismayilov was given the award for \u2018Best Male Role.\u2019\n<\/p>\n

\n Directed by Ilgar Najaf, \u2018Pomegranate Garden\u2019 tells the
\n
\n story
\n <\/a>
\n of an old man who lives with his daughter-in-law and grandson in a decrepit house surrounded by a pomegranate garden. Their quiet lives are disturbed by the sudden return of the old man\u2019s son, bringing with him bitter memories and new challenges.\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n According
\n <\/a>
\n to producer Ali Isa Jabbarov, the film shows the dark side of traditional Azerbaijani family relationships. \u2018The biggest problem in Azerbaijani cinema is that it doesn\u2019t reflect real life, [Azerbaijani filmmakers] don\u2019t know how to convey it on the screen,\u2019 said Jabbarov. \u2018Pomegranate Garden\u2019 has precisely that quality – it\u2019s totally candid.\u2019\n<\/p>\n
