SYNOPSIS

As the only road leading to the Caucasus mountain region of Tusheti, Georgia, closes for 7 months of winter, a handful of determined holdouts remain. Experiencing time outside the flow of state regulation and consumer exchange, this smattering of people form a tight, interdependent group — navigating economic hardship, intergenerational friction, and uncertainty over their community’s future.
