Moon without a house
"Moon Without a House" is a poetic exploration of a disappearing home, fading memories, and hope.
In the heart of the mountains in Azerbaijan, where time seems to stand still, resides a grandmother and granddaughter both named Tazaghul. Far from city life, the family spend their lives in a remote hut. As the camera captures their daily routines, a tender and timeless bond comes to the surface. There are greater things hidden in their simple lives than the apparent monotony. The name they carry, Tazaghul, "fresh flowers" in Azerbaijani – a poetic contradiction to the almost deserted landscape that surrounds them. Their existence is a metaphor for resilience, where love blossoms amidst loneliness.
Moon Without a House by Atanur Nabiyeva was premiered in the Opening Scenes Competition at Visions du Réel, International Film Festival Nyon (11–21 April 2024).
