The girl has too many freckles on her face. Movies with the same theme have been shot N times by directors from all over the world. This movie is really not very good, except for the photography.

During the Abkhaz-Georgian war, the grandparents and grandchildren cultivated wasteland on the sandbar in the river. It would be weak to completely avoid the big geopolitical background and express anti-war only from the perspective of individual people's livelihood and humanity. I don't understand why my grandpa didn't get on the boat and leave at the end, the director insisted for the formal echo. 2.5/5
