A feature-documentary film “Heritage” dedicated to the activity of Nobel brothers in oil industry Azerbaijan has prepared by Baku Media Center. The aim of the film is to describe the role and significance of Nobel Brothers’ activity in the region and in the development of world oil production, as well as to contribute to highlighting and propaganda of the history of oil production in Azerbaijan. The screenplay features Nobel’s major accomplishments including the creation of the world’s first petrol tanker and storage tanks for storage of oil products, the launch of the first European oil pipeline in Baku, and other similar novelties in the company’s oil industry. At the same time, the film speaks about the growing importance of ‘black gold’ as a geostrategic raw material with the development of oil industry, as well as the geopolitical importance of Azerbaijan in the region and the struggle of giant companies from several continents for Baku oil.
The events in the film mainly take place at the railway station. The main character, Karim, has the greatest goal — like his father — to kill flies. And for this work he considers himself a true hero. In short, the main meaning of the film is that those who are engaged in idle work actually consider themselves to be concerned with serious, vital issues.
Abbasgulu Agha, a scholar, diplomat, soldier, writer, poet, and philosopher, lived a glorious life and died of plague in a place called "Wadi Fatima" between Medina and Mecca while wandering the hot deserts of Arabia. The film is dedicated to his life and work, based on the manuscripts of Abbasgulu agha Bakikhanov's works.
