Plot

The film reveals the contradictions between the "educator"-teachers and the "educated"-students in the boarding school, which is actually an orphanage, where lawlessness, violence, hypocrisy, and cruelty prevail. Little Ahsan (Ilham Babayev), forced to live in such contradictory conditions, is unable to adapt to these conditions, misses his native home, and finds the only way out - by throwing himself out of the window and perishes.

The film "Window" sounds like a warning, calling for a radical change in the educational system that cripples the fate of children.
