Summary: An epic and heartfelt love story, Ali and Nino tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers. The year is 1914 and Ali is an educated young Muslim noble living in Baku, the bustling, oil-rich capital of Azerbaijan. Nino is a Christian girl whose regal family hails from Georgia. Desperately in love, Ali proposes marriage to Nino, but their relationship is beset by difficulties.
