Award-winning filmmaker Zaza Urushadze has revealed the first trailer for his upcoming film, The Confession, which is due to be released later this year.
The Georgian director of the 2013 Oscar-nominated feature Tangerines unveiled the trailer to his social media followers today.
The short trailer offers the first glimpse at scenes from the film about a priest whose devotion to a strict spiritual code is tested when he comes across an attractive woman in a mountain village.

The feature was first announced last year with the working title Monk.
Based on a script written by Urushadze himself, the film features a cast of Georgian actors led by Dimitri Tatishvili, Joseph Khvelidze and Sophia Sebiskveradze.
The Confession is produced by Urushadze and Estonian producer Ivo Felt — a continuation of the collaboration that resulted in the recent international success of Tangerines.
