A family on the verge of falling apart pays a life-changing trip to the beach in this haunting Azerbaijani drama from debut director Elmar Imanov.

Mother Fidan, father Samir and son Machmud form an uneasy family unit in Baku, Azerbaijan, as each seeks independence and self-identity, yet feel trapped and unfulfilled. A dramatic incident at a family beach trip changes the family dynamic, and they are forced to evaluate their relationships to each other.

Elmar Imanov’s compelling debut features excellent performances from his cast, especially Mir-Movsum Mirzazade as the angry, vulnerable son. End of Season is an excellent study of alienation and mutual incomprehension, with echoes of Michelangelo Antonioni’s L'Avventura.
