In reality, a good film has a special appealing quality: the film is taking your breath away; it is full of charm, embraces you and then lets you go only after the very last shot. Those types of films are very few even in a grand film festival such as the Berlinale. The Georgian film The Other Bank (Gagma Napiri) belongs to this type of exceptional film. George Ovashvili has an artistic taste for making films. What are the rhythm and editing, the right actors, landscapes, emotions and thoughts that this full-length feature debut gives birth to? It is hard to say… Overall, it is obvious that it is a special world which you start to believe in and it touches your soul.
The entire film is received only through the heart of every person in the audience. Overall, the film is not only about the regional Georgian-Abkhazian conflict. This film is about the war and any kind of natural disasters are distorting the natural flow of things. And those who suffer the most from this are children. Because this is the order in the community and society, if someone stops fulfilling its duties, then people disappear from nature. Duties are carried on the shoulders of weaker and less protected members of society.
