Produced by Baku Media Center with the support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the Ministry of Culture, and the Azerbaijan Cinema Agency, and sponsored by Neqsol Holding, Kapital Bank, Bakcell, and Norm companies, the film weaves the intricate tapestry of Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev's life, a luminary whose benevolent spirit and industrious heart forged the very foundations of contemporary Azerbaijan.
“Taghiyev: Sona” marks the third installment in the four-part “Taghiyev” series. Amidst the swirling mists of late 19th and early 20th-century Baku, the tale unfolds with Sona, a beacon of enlightenment, whose entrance ignites a profound metamorphosis in Taghiyev's existence. Their bond blossoms like a delicate flower weathering the storms of fate, delving into the depths of endurance, fidelity, and the unwavering spirit of virtue.
The film's creative team comprises executive producer Arzu
Aliyeva, producer Orman Aliyev, and director Zaur Gasimli. The
screenplay was authored by Ismayil Iman, Asif Isgandarli, and
Gasimli, including cinematography by Vladimir Artemyev, art
direction by Sebuhi Atababayev, costume design by Vusal Rahim, and
an original score by Etibar Asadli.

Subsequent to the screening, the cast and crew were summoned to the
stage, where Gasimli expressed gratitude to all who contributed to
the project.
