Tangerines, directed by Georgian man Zaza Urushadze, centres around an older Estonian man who cares for two wounded soldiers from opposite sides of the 1990-era war in Georgia.
Tangerines was produced by Estonian film production company Allfilm and Georgian production company Cinema 24. As well as directing, Urushadze jointly produced the film with Ivo Felt. The cast includes Lembit Ulfsak, Elmo Nuganen, Mikhail Meskhi, Giorgi Nakashidze, Raivo Trass and Zurab Bealishvili.
Since its release the film has won awards at the Warsaw, Mannheim-Heidelberg, Palm Springs and Seattle film festivals.
