TEHRAN, Sept. 14 (MNA) -- Iranian director Babak Shirinsefat’s film “Aisuda” is currently in the pre-production stage in the cities of Lankaran and Astara in the Azerbaijan Republic, the Persian service of Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Wednesday.

“The 90-minute movie is about the Karabakh war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. It tells the story of two Azeri refugees, showing the influence of war on people’s lives,” he said.
[...]
For over a decade, one million displaced Azeris have been living under appalling conditions since the Karabakh war. These people are living in tents, underground caves, and old train cars. The film shows the difficult plight of these refugees who have been forgotten by the entire world.
