Whanganui Film Society's Monday screening is Tangerines, a 2013 Estonian-Georgian film directed, produced and written by Zaza Urushadze.
Lembit Ulfsak plays Ivo, living in Abkhazia at the outbreak of war who stays behind to harvest tangerines and cares for a wounded fighter.
"Familiarity breeds anything but contempt in Tangerines, a modestly magnificent fable of enemies in a time of war," wrote Wall Street Journal reviewer Joe Morgenstern.
"The time is 1992 in Abkhazia, a contested region of the former Soviet Union on the east coast of the Black Sea.
"There, a vicious little war rages between Georgian soldiers and Abkhaz separatists, but the only enemies who figure significantly in the story are two survivors of a firefight that breaks out near the home of an ageing carpenter named Ivo.
