Tahmina (Azerbaijani: Təhminə) is a 1993 Azerbaijani romantic drama. The screenplay was written by Anar Rzayev based on his novel The sixth floor of the 5-story building. Directed by Rasim Ojagov, this film depicts the love affair between Zaur, a man from an affluent family, and Tahmina, a divorced woman doing her best to survive in a conservative society. The film is considered to be one of the best Azerbaijani movies produced in the 1990s. Funding for the film was provided by a Turkish businessman.
The romantic relationship of the main characters Zaur and Tahmina starts off with a passionate affair and leads to many problems in a conservative society. Zaur (Fakhraddin Manafov), the son of a prominent and well-to-do professor (Hasan Mammadov), falls in love with Tahmina (Meral Konrat), a divorced TV anchor. Tahmina is admired by many of her colleagues and friends of Zaur's family. This attention to Tahmina from others causes Zaur to experience periodic jealousy.
In due time, Tahmina is sent to Moscow for a professional assignment. Zaur is so much in love with Tahmina that he follows her to Moscow.
Zaur's family condemns this romantic relationship and tries to divert Zaur into an arranged marriage with Firangiz (Laura Rzayeva), a daughter of a family friend. Social pressure and continuous calls from Zaur's mother (Zarnigar Aghakishiyeva) to Tahmina eventually cause problems in their relationship, leading them to break up.
Zaur, listening to his parents' advice, marries Firangiz. Tahmina, on the other hand, takes solitude in heavy drinking to ease her heart's pain. Due to this habit, Tahmina experiences problems with her liver and eventually dies during Zaur and Firangiz's honeymoon in Istanbul, Turkey.
