Plot

Soviet Georgia, 1983. Preparations for Nika and Ana's wedding are in full swing and it's a big day for both of their elite families.

Sinekatalog’s take

A tense period drama set in Soviet Georgia, where a lavish wedding is overshadowed by danger. The atmosphere of privilege and fear is convincing. Absorbing for viewers who like politically charged historical thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
