Azerbaijani film "Lesson" was screened at the international festival of film and TV programs for family viewing named after Valentina Leontyeva.

During the festival, which was held in Samara,Russia, film's producer-directors  Rafiq Aliyev and Javid Tavakkul were awarded the diploma "For the best presentation of  teenage challenges".

"The Lesson" is a story about the life of Azerbaijani schoolchildren, friendship and responsibility for their actions.

Schoolboy Khalid becomes a target of ridicule for his classmates. No-one wants to become friends with him. He dreams of making friends with the most popular boy in the class.  "If I have such a friend, I'll be respected and loved by everyone," the kid once told to his granddad.

In the end, the naive boy realizes that respect and recognition come only to those who have self-esteem and who value and remember their roots.

"The Lesson" was shot upon the order of the Culture and Tourism Ministry by the Azerbaijanfilm studio named after Jafar Jabbarli.

The film was scripted by Elza Agayeva and Anastasiya Volkova, directed by Rafiq Aliyev and Cavid Tavakkul, produced by Musfig Hatamov and photography by Rauf Qurbanaliyev.

The film was named best at "Kinoshock-2016" film festival. "The Lesson" also awarded the prize “Golden Listapadzik” at Minsk International Film Festival.
