A half-hour tape is about complicated relationships of the father and the son, who is mentally ill. The filming took place in 2011 in an area Jangi, 55 km from Baku.
This year's Student Academy Award was held the 39th time and its winners were about 10 young filmmakers from different countries. The winners were determined by the jury from among well-known American filmmakers. Student Academy Award implies trophies and cash prizes, but does not imply an Oscar statuette. However it opens a way for successful work in the field of cinema and television.
