SYNOPSIS

As the only road leading to the Caucasus mountain region of Tusheti, Georgia, closes for 7 months of winter, a handful of holdouts remain. 

NOTE

In remote Tusheti, Georgia, a dwindling highland community grapples with rural depopulation, intergenerational change, and Soviet memory—offering a rare glimpse into alternative ways of living, collective resilience, and an uncertain path into the future.
