On One Fine Day
Günlərin bir günü
Synopsis
Two short stories brought together in one programme. In the first, a lifeguard cares little about what happens at sea: to the music of Bizet, he dreams of his Carmen, of feats, of bravery and of a great love. In the second, a young researcher promised the leadership of a group sees a spaceship one morning from his balcony; a little nervous, he tells his mother-in-law, his neighbours, his acquaintances, then his boss.
Context

Revaz Gabriadze is also among the screenwriters of the whole. The second features Semyon Farada, İnarə Quliyeva, Sergey Yursky and Leyla Bədirbəyli.
