• Directed by: Lala Aliyeva

• Producer: Aysel Akhundova

Docs up Fund granted during the second close up’s workshop in Izmir, March 2024:

The fear of the sea urges the director Lala to embark on a journey around the familiar shores of the Caspian Sea, which is the biggest lake in the world and the locus of first industrial oil production. In the next 30 years, global warming will result in a drastic decrease of the levels of the Caspian. It captures a fleeting moment in history and the lives of people, a memory of the space that can be gone. It is an emotionally driven experimental film that takes the viewer into the unknown watersand different worlds of the sea.
