Sghwarze (Am Rande)

The threat of civil war hangs in the air. An armed conflict is about to break out and the omens are impossible to overlook, there is aggression, hate, propaganda. A young physicist attempts to retain his independence, initially shutting himself away from his surroundings, before attempting to leave the country with his girlfriend, although he is ultimately able to extricate himself from events. Without making direct reference to either his country or to the regional conflicts of the early 90s, Tsintsadze creates a visual no-man’s land about to be dissolved and tells in dark, laconic fashion of a man who would like to remain neutral, but is forced to realize that this is impossible.
