Synopsis

A 2013 Estonian-Georgian film, directed, produced and written by Zaza Urushadze, Tangerines was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards. The story takes place in a rural village in Abkhazia (Georgia) during the War in Abkhazia (1992–93) where Estonian farmers settled to raise a tangerine garden. When the war starts, two Estonian men, Ivo (Lembit Ulfsak) and Margus (Elmo Nüganen) remain in the village in order to harvest the season’s crop of tangerines. While they are going about their business, they get caught in the crossfire between two small bands of warring soldiers. Only two of the fighters survive. Ahmed (Giorgi Nakashidze) is a Chechen mercenary on the Abkhazian side, and Niko (Mikheil Meskhi) is a Georgian. Both are badly wounded, but the two Estonian farmers take them in and begin to nurse them back to health.
