Overview

Eleven years after her grandfather's passing, director Leylakhanim Ganbarli starts an emotional journey. She has never had the courage to say “farewell” to her late grandfather until now. Filled with valuable memories of their time together, she travels from Baku to Oglangala, her childhood village in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan’s autonomous republic situated between Armenia and Iran. As Leylakhanim reflects on her grandfather and awakens memories of him, her grandmother steps in to support her. Thus, the film “My Grandfather's House” explores not only the director's reminiscences but also marks a new stage in the relationship between grandmother and granddaughter.
