Counterpoint traces two centuries of German-Azerbaijani coexistence, beginning with Swabian families who left what is now Baden-Württemberg and established settlements in Azerbaijan.

Through descendants, historians and diplomats, the film examines what remains of that legacy today and how cultural memory has survived. Watch now: https://youtu.be/NkZ2AjUdeOw
