Overview

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.

It feels unfinished, and unnecessarily padded by melodramatic plot developments and some strange, creepy exploitation of its young actress.

An astonishing feat of cinema presented with the utmost modesty ...
