Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry

A fiercely independent woman’s tranquillity is disturbed by an unexpected affair, in this wry, tender and understated drama from Georgia.

Etero (a sensitive performance by Eka Chavleishvili) is a self-contented shop owner and blackberry forager in a small Georgian town. Happily single in her late 40s, she never expected to feel a sudden surge of desire for one of the local men. Director Elene Naveriani (Wet Sand) has created a deliciously shrewd and refreshing portrait of a woman who doesn’t want, nor needs, to conform.
