Domino
Ali Maharram
Azerbaijan
The film is about the toxic chaikhana culture of Baku. A chaikhana is a space where men come together to drink tea mainly in the company of domino and gossip. Many building complexes (particularly old ones from the soviet era) has an inner public spot for parking, playground, shops, and other businesses such as chaikhahas. Not only these places are very precarious for many to pass by, but also such facilities create a significant inconvenience for housewives. Sometimes the game and the chat last almost until early morning in the summer and the noise disturbs the citizens of the buildings very much. The film addresses the challenges of a housewife due to the situation and also, highlights the irresponsibility of public institutions regarding the issue.
