Ashik Kerib is heartbroken, and as a result, he kind of just wants to wander around and play the guitar. Join him on his mystical journey! You might be familiar with codirector Sergei Parajanov's truly iconic imagery from the more famous The Color of Pomegranates, but he's at his absolute best in this collaboration with Dodo Abashidze. Accompanied by a soundtrack of gorgeous Azerbaijani and Turkish folk music, this is poetic, vibes-based cinema at its finest.
