Elene NAVERIANI  2021 Georgia, Switzerland color 115min Georgian DCP
A village at the Georgian Black Sea with friendly people believing to know each other. One day, Eliko is found hanged; his granddaughter Moe comes to organize his funeral. She is confronted with a web of lies and the tragic consequences of Eliko’s hidden love life with Amnon over the last 22 years. The truth, however, frees Moe’s capability to love and provokes the villagers to take a stand.
