The film "Lesson" was screened as part of the "National film is our wealth" project.

"The Lesson" is a story about the life of Baku schoolchildren, friendship and responsibility for their actions.

Khalid becomes a target of ridicule for his classmates. No-one wants to become friends with him. He dreams of making friends with the most popular boy in the class. "If I have such a friend, I'll be respected and loved by everyone," the kid once told to his granddad.

In the end, the naive boy realizes that respect and recognition come only to those who have self-esteem and who value and remember their roots.

"The Lesson" was shot upon the order of the Culture and Tourism Ministry by the Azerbaijanfilm studio named after Jafar Jabbarli.

The film was scripted by Elza Agayeva and Anastasiya Volkova, directed by Rafiq Aliyev and Cavid Tavakkul, produced by Musfig Hatamov and photography by Rauf Qurbanaliyev.

Notably, the film will be shown as part of the "Days of Azerbaijani films 2017" from March 9 in Nizami Cinema Center, Park Cinema and CinemaPlus in March.

As part of the project realized by the Young Innovators Public Union and supported by the Youth Fund under the President of Azerbaijan, feature films "Magic robe", "Mystery of one fortress", "Shared Bread " and "Stepmother" were shown to 400 schoolchildren, Report.az informed.
