Corn Island
DramaWar
The Inguri River forms a natural border dividing Georgia from Abkhazia. One of the spring floods has created a little island in the middle of the river, as if made for the cultivation of corn. At least, this is the belief of an old peasant, whose sunburned face resembles the landscape he has trodden for dozens of years.
VIBE
A quiet, meditative experience. The film immerses you in the serene beauty of nature, juxtaposed with the subtle undercurrent of distant conflict. It feels like watching time itself unfold, slow and deliberate, on a small island.
