Duration: 10'
A modern screen adaptation of a Georgian folktale about a mother, a son and his beloved. This work reminds us that fairy tales don’t always have happy endings and one’s life could end up as a psychological thriller. It investigates social norms and expected behaviors that often pass unexamined yet have a tremendous effect on our understanding of identity; family, national belonging and self.
