Three generations of women live in Tbilisi, Georgia. Otar, the son of the eldest, Eka (Esther Gorintin), has gone to Paris to look for work. He dies in an accident. Eka's daughter, Marina (Nino Khomasuridze), and granddaughter, Ada (Dinara Drukarova), want to hide the news of her son's death from her.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nA former documentary filmmaker and assistant to masters Iosseliani, Kieslowski, and Tavernier, the young Julie Bertuccelli marks her directorial debut with\nSince Otar Left..., a feature film imbued with sensitivity and humanism, which was awarded the César for Best First Feature Film, the Grand Prix of the Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Best Screenplay award in French at the Deauville Film Festival.\n In Tbilisi, Georgia, 23-year-old Ada shares an apartment with her mother and grandmother. Their daily life is organized around the news they receive from Otar, Ada's uncle, who left for Paris in search of a better life. But soon, lies enter the picture and upset their relationships. \n Scrutinizing the fascinating exchanges and contradictions between these three generations of women with generosity and delicacy, Since Otar Left... also succeeds through them, and without sensationalism or misery-mongering, in painting a subtle portrait of a Georgia slowly recovering from the long Soviet occupation and of an idealized France. Three countries, then, but also three superb actresses. The Georgian Nino Khomassouridze, the Russian Dinara Droukarova, discovered in Freeze, Die, Come to Life, and the surprising 90-year-old French actress Esther Gorintin, already impressive in Voyages, are brought together in a film as simple as it is touching, and as strong as it is grand. A discovery. – Helen Faradji.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 629159032351\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0629159032351\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e French\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42224570335491,"sku":"ZJ-4GQ9-I2K7","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51eaTkdyQvL.jpg?v=1639790009","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/since-otar-left","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
