Tangerines (2013) - 88 min

Country: Georgia
Director: Zaza Urushadze
Cast: Lembit Ulfsak, Elmo Nüganen, Mikheil Meskhi & Giorgi Nakashidze.
In 1992 during the conflict between Georgia and Abkhazia many Estonians leave their home, but Ivo and Margus stayed there in order to harvest the season's crop. After a shootout that happened in front of their homes between Chechen mercenaries and Georgian soldiers only two survived Ahmed, a Chechen mercenary and a young Georgian soldier Nika. Ivo takes the two enemies into his home and started nursing them in separate rooms.
What happens when you put two enemies under a single roof. The concept of the movie is very simple and visually it's a beautiful creation by Urashadze. The film has a very small cast with limited locations and most important thing about the film is the bonding between all the characters. The theme music used in the film is haunting and the ending scenes were outstanding, at the same time very touchy. Overall, It's a powerful movie and highly recommended to all.
Verdict: Great
