Based on real events that took place during the 2008 Russian military intervention in Georgia.
Shindisi, where the film was shot, was the location where Russian military forces opened fire in what was designated as a humanitarian corridor, where the wounded can be helped, and where the dead can be buried with respect. The villagers stood up to the betrayal, and one man became a hero.
The film was shown at the Shanghai IFF and is Georgia’s Oscar candidate.
