TANGERINAS

During the 1991 conflict between Georgia and Abkhazia, two Estonians, Ivo and Margus, have decided to stay rather than return to their native Estonia. After the fighting is brought close to their homes, Ivo finds himself nursing two injured soldiers—both on opposite sides of the conflict.

An intimately-scaled look at the Abkhaz-Georgian conflict which erupted amid the collapse of the Soviet Union, this Estonian Oscar® nominee is a treatise on the collateral damage suffered by rural communities. Beautifully shot, Tangerines deftly negotiates the boundaries of trauma and compassion.
