Imago
Déni travels to Georgia to see the place with his own eyes. Many Chechens live in this region—including relatives of his mother—who, like her, once fled the war. The close-knit community, which immediately embraces him with warmth, shows him what a home of his own might look like there. At the same time, the question everyone wants to ask him lingers in the air: when will Déni finally get married?
Through stunning visuals and a subtle narrative style, we follow his quest to discover his roots, his family, and himself—a journey where the silences in conversations often speak volumes. Pitsaev impressively and intelligently weaves together universal themes such as stifling gender roles, the indelible scars of war, and the endless search for where one truly belongs. A deeply moving and personal masterpiece.
