A warm and understatedly humorous film about a Georgian family's project to start a blueberry farm in an area where old conflicts rumble underground.

Led by the kind-hearted father Soso, the family of four set up a blueberry farm to secure their future together. But their village in northern Georgia is close to the troubled border with the Russian-backed region of Abkhazia, where conflicts have been rumbling for 30 years.

Soso is a retired engineer, but together with his wife Nino and their sons Giorgi and Lazare, he throws himself into the ‘Plant the Future’ programme set up by the Georgian authorities to stabilise the area.

The screening on Thu 19 Mar will be followed by a Q&A between director Elene Mikaberidze and Natalia Jugheli, actress and Director of the Eliso Awards.
