Drama

Soviet Georgia, 1983. Preparations for Nika and Ana's wedding are in full swing and it's a big day for both of their elite families. For the newlyweds and their friends, however, the celebrations are in fact part of a cover-up, as they plot an audacious escape from the Soviet Union.

VIBE

A tense, claustrophobic thriller about a desperate bid for freedom. The stifling atmosphere of Soviet Georgia contrasts with the characters' yearning for a life beyond its borders, making their audacious plan feel both terrifying and exhilarating.
