Ada Kviraia / USSR / 1987 / International Premiere / 16 min.


synopsis

A poetic look at the work of a man from an Abkhazian port town who looks after the nearby woods and hillsides. The expansive hilly pastures, mountains, animals, and rivers form the setting for a rural idyll and symbolist scenes in which the man frees a wolf from a trap or cleans a creek bed.

biography

Abkhazian director Ada Kviraia studied in Kyiv and then returned to her native country, where she works to develop the local film industry. In 2013, she made probably the first film reflection on the Georgian–Abkhazian conflict, Girl on a Balloon. Following in the footsteps of Tengiz Abuladze, she is a leading representative of poetic film in the Georgia–Abkhazia milieu.
