Etero’s silent nature, worked very well for a sub-titled film, allowing the camera to tell the story much of the time and a magnificent, understated performance by Eka Chavleishvili.

It was a window into what one imagines rural life in many Eastern European countries to be like or, for that matter, rural communities throughout the world. Beautiful countryside too and it made our rain seem like drizzle….

A great choice of film.
