Erti nakhvit shekvareba (1975)

Murad, a 9th-grade Azerbaijani and avid football fan, falls head over heels for a girl two years his senior. Age and cultural differences act as barriers, garnering him little support from family and friends. Director Rezo Esadze's original vision faced bureaucratic hurdles but ultimately emerges as a story that bridges cultural gaps, familial expectations, and the love for football. After years, the film stands as a universally appealing cinematic experience. Don't miss it; this one's a hidden gem worth discovering!
