A young Georgian man named Lado is involved in smuggling antique furniture from Georgia to Russia. Tired of his immaturity, Medea, Lado’s girlfriend, buys for herself the apartment in St. Peterburg’s historic center. It is sold at a very low price because the apartment comes with its owner, Vadim Vadimich - an opinionated, old-fashioned character. At the time of the unlawful deportation of thousands of Georgians from Russia, Lado is caught and deported. The antique warehouse is raided, while Medea hides in a wardrobe.

Guy Lodge Variety A melancholic, atmospheric and ravishingly shot slice of recent history, funnelling wider social and political crises through more intimately drawn character conflicts. Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Glurijdze never allows her narrative to bog down in too much sentiment or melodrama. The film is a potent plea for understanding. Rated: B- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Holland Screen International This carefully crafted, darkly surreal and politically engaged film subtly depicts how state power moulds us, its deceptively amiable mood simmering with underlying violence from the very first frame before it later ignites.
