Based on a Caucasus Mountains legend that tells of the repeated efforts of the Georgian people to construct a fortress against invaders. The fortress continues to collapse until a fortune-teller recalls a prophecy: a handsome young man must be walled inside alive in order for the building to stand.
One of cinema’s masters, Sergei Parajanov (The Color of Pomegranates) offers another idiosyncratic and surreal (re)vision of a folk-tale in this award-winning film. His inventive aesthetic and his visionary storytelling techniques are dazzling and mesmerizing–they will stay with you forever.
