This adaptation of Giorgi Leonidze’s short stories sees twenty-two separate episodes coalesce into one phantasmagoric narrative. Set in pre-revolutionary Georgia, it follows a young woman forced into marriage by the village elders despite her love for another man. Drifting poetically from one incident to the next, this gorgeously sustained pastorale creates a sense of the rich tapestry of Georgian village life, and of the tragic consequences of community dispute.
