(Mandariinid)
An elderly civilian finds himself caring for two wounded soldiers from opposite sides in this insightful antiwar parable, set during the notorious 1992 Georgian-Abkhazian conflict. One of the last holdouts of an ethnically Estonian community in the green Abkhazian hills, the sage, white-haired Ivo simply wants to help his neighbor harvest tangerines, but a sudden gun battle leaves a very burly, very angry Chechen mercenary wounded at his door, and soon also a young, naïve Georgian soldier. A gripping battle of wits and intellect follows in this riveting chamber piece, with the harvests of war, and of life, at stake.
• Written by Urushadze. Photographed by Rein Kotov. With Lembit Ulfsak, Raivo Trass, Giorgi Nakashidze.
(84 mins, In Russian and Estonian with English subtitles, Color, DCP, From Cinemavault)
