“A world where words are no longer useful.”
Set in a remote village in Abkhazia one year after the end of the war, the film narrates the life of a ten-year-old boy who cares for his sick father alone. The family's survival depends on the artisanal production of cheese, which must be transported across a precarious, ruined suspension bridge to the nearest market. Utilizing the aesthetic of contemporary silent cinema, director Naur Garmelia explores the material and mental collapse of a nation through a raw and emotional visual narrative about resilience and the loss of innocence."

An odyssey through time and memory, centered on a place in New Jersey where—from wilderness, and then, later, from a home—love, loss, struggle, hope and legacy play out between couples and families over generations.
