Abkhazia, in Georgia's far northwest, was once an autonomous region within Soviet Georgia. Simmering ethnic tensions between the Abkhaz, the area's original inhabitants, and Georgians, the largest ethnic group at that time, led to war in 1992. Georgia lost control over most of Abkhazia, and roughly 250,000 Georgians were forced to flee their homes.
The film is set in an abandoned village in the aftermath of war as an Abkhazian family is being relocated to a Georgian home. But real peace is hard to come by.
