Long Live, Girls

The plot of the film is based on real events that took place in the summer of 1958 on one of the beaches of Absheron, when Tofik Huseynov, a schoolboy from Baku, drowned in the sea while saving drowning children. The film begins before the opening credits: on a deserted beach by the raging sea, a young man, exhausted, pulls drowning girls out of the waves. One, then another, then a third... Then he rushes for the fourth, but drowns with her.
