A ballad, formally speaking, this film delivers breath-taking nature footage, opulent folklore and ironic ruptures. The landscape is just as epic as the grand narrative here, which serves as a backdrop for the tale of personal destiny at the heart of the action. Towering mountains, expansive rolling hills, tiny villages: home to Eva, who falls deeply in love with Giorgi. Alas, their bond is jeopardised in a new world characterised by the confusion of revolution, new economic policies and collectivisation.
