Synopsis
Torn from his father at the beginning of the Georgian-Abkhazia war, 12-year-old Tedo is tired of living the life of a refugee and embarks on a dangerous mission to find his father behind enemy lines. Unable to speak the local language and fearing for his safety, Tedo pretends to be deaf as his odyssey takes him across physical and emotional landscapes and borders where nationalism rules and where the "eye for an eye" mentality dominates.
