Cast | Eka Chavleishvili, Temiko Chichinadze, Lia Abuladze

A late-blooming heroine is awakened by a passionate encounter in Elene Naveriani’s enchanting new film.

Independent, middle-aged Etero (Eka Chavleishvili) never wanted a husband, and cherishes her freedom as much as the mille-feuille she repeat-orders at a local café. But when an unexpected encounter brings a new recklessness to her life, she must decide whether to pursue a relationship or continue alone. Grappling with a personal revolution, Etero seeks her own happiness.

Wry, endearing and uncommonly thoughtful, Elene Naveriani’s follow-up to 2021’s Wet Sand boasts a satisfying emotional ambiguity, deepened by Chavleishvili’s delightful performance, Agnesh Pakozdi’s summery cinematography, and a gorgeous soundtrack.
