Georgian director Zaza Urushadze's Oscar- and Golden Globe-nominated film Tangerines (Mandarinebi) will have its United Kingdom debut on Friday, September 18, followed by screenings in France.
The award-winning film has travelled across Europe and the United States and gained critical acclaim, going on the big screen at various festivals and leading box offices around the globe.
Most recently the production won the Audience Award at the 2015 Chichester International Film Festival that ran from August 13-30.
The film is set in the midst of the Georgian-Abkhazian war in the beginning of the 1990s when two Estonian immigrant farmers choose to stay in their tangerine farm in the conflict zone to collect the seasonal crop.
Their home becomes a potential hotspot of conflict when two wounded soldiers– one Abkhazian and the other Georgian – arrive at the doorstep looking for medical aid. The unlikely cohabitants have to confront their feelings for each other on the backdrop of hostilities around them while they recuperate in the hospitality of the hosts.
The Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw noted the film for its "tremendous storytelling" while The Huffington Post review found it "intelligent, powerful and poignant".
Principal roles in the joint Georgian-Estonian production were played by Giorgi Nakashidze, Misha Meskhi, Lembit Ulfsak and Elmo Nüganen.
