Tangerines

ACADEMY AWARD® and GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE for 2015 Best Foreign Language Film. Set in 1992, during the growing conflict between separatists in the wake of the Soviet Union’s break-up, this deeply moving film tells the compelling story of two immigrant farmers who make the dangerous decision to remain in a war torn area long enough to harvest their tangerine crop. When the war inevitably comes to their doorstep, the men risk their lives by taking in two wounded soldiers from opposite sides. These fighters vow to kill each other when they recover, but their extended period of recovery ultimately has a powerful and humanizing effect that helps to transcend ancient ethnic divides. Set against a stunning landscape defiled by war, this beautiful and poetic film makes a timeless and eloquent statement for peace.
