About this event

The film explores the collision of isolated rural life and the encroachment of the modern world and was shown in the 2025 Tbilisi International Film Festival. An elderly writer arrives at an abandoned village, where only derelict houses remain. He goes to the farm where he spent his childhood. After a new bridge was built, the village was plagued by robberies and threats, and his family moved to a small remote farming community. Their peaceful working environment was threatened by Russian soldiers monitoring the village by air and making harassing visits. The personal stories of the small community that we witness are adapted from the novels of Revaz Inanishvili.
