Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Estonian, Georgian & Russian audio with English subtitles***Set in 1992, during the growing conflict between Georgia and Abkhazian separatists in the wake of the Soviet Union s dissolution, this compassionate story focuses on two Estonian immigrant farmers who decide to remain in Georgia long enough to harvest their tangerine crop. When the fighting arrives at their doorsteps, Ivo (played by legendary Estonian actor Lembit Ulfsak) along with friend Margus (Elmo Nüganen), treat two wounded soldiers from opposite sides, Ahmed (Giorgi Nakhashidze) and Niko (Mikheil Meskhi). During their extended period of convalescence under the administration of Ivo, they are forced not only to confront the reasons that fuel their hatred for each other but also the conflict which rages around them.Oscar® & Golden Globe® award nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, TANGERINES is a beautifully eloquent statement for peace and the futility of bloodshed over racial and ethnic division.

War in Georgia, Apkhazeti region 1992: local Apkhazians are fighting to break free from Georgia. Estonian village between the mountains has become empty, almost everyone has returned to their homeland, only 2 men have stayed: Ivo and Margus. But Margus will leave as soon as he has harvested his crops of tangerines. In a bloody conflict in their miniature village wounded men are left behind, and Ivo is forced to take them in. But they are from opposite sides of the war. This is touching anti-war story about Estonians who find themselves in the middle of someone else's war. How do they handle it? How do the enemies act under third-party roof?

Ivo, an old Estonian farmer, has stayed back in Gerogia along with his friend, Margus to harvest the abundant Tangerines. His bleak life is turned upside down when he decides to shelter Ahmed, a Muslim Chechen mercenary and a Georgian, Niko, both having lost their men & injured heavily from combat. It does not help matters that the pair are constantly waiting to pounce back at each other once their respective health permits.
