'ALI AND NINO' TRAILER
FALLING IN LOVE WHILE THE WORLD IS FALLING APART
Meanwhile, Fanny from Dezzy's spying squads has sent us the first trailer for ALI AND NINO epic love story with Adam Bakri and Maria Valverde (a very weak performance judging from the trailer)!
Ali is an upper class Muslim man, whose family holds a great deal of power in Baku, Azerbaijan. At that time, before World War One, Azerbaijan was part of the Russian Empire. Nino, Ali's lover, is from neighbouring Georgia and is Christian, but the two are deeply in love and elope to the countryside. The story follows the two, who get married, through World War One, which only sees some of Ali's friends sent off to war. After the Russians surrender, however, conflict comes to Baku. Ali fights the Bolsheviks with the Azerbaijani militia and Nino helps nurse wounded soldiers during the March Days massacre in Baku.
