The Bra(2020)

Storyline

• Train driver Nurlan is heading to Baku for the last time before retirement. On its way round the neighborhoods of the city his train snags a blue bra off a washing line. To escape from his lonely existence, Nurlan embarks on the most adventurous journey of his life: to find the owner of this perky piece of underwear. He rents a small room in Baku and begins his quest. With great dedication, Nurlan knocks at every door along the train track. While the women he encounters have their own reasons for letting him into their private worlds, his 'project' does not remain unnoticed by their husbands. The more difficult it gets, however, the more creative and determined Nurlan becomes to convince every woman to try on the bra. — Pluto Film Every day, Nurlan, a grizzled freight train engineer, crosses the vast landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains and passes through a densely populated suburb of Baku in Azerbaijan. There, the rails are so close to the houses that his Soviet-designed locomotive almost grazes them. But on his last day at work, a special farewell gift hanging from a clothesline gets tangled in the train: a padded, pale-blue bra. Intrigued, Nurlan embarks on a challenging door-to-door mission to find the woman who robbed him of his sleep, determined to return the unidentified brassiere to its mysterious rightful owner. But this is easier said than done. — Nick Riganas
