UNCLE VAKHO’S DREAM

POLISH TITLE: SEN WUJKA VAKHO

REPRESENTED BY KFF

According to mythology, Prometheus was bound to the rocks of Mount Kazbek, more than 5,000 meters high and covered in ice. For Vakho, this mountainous region in the Georgian Caucasus is a self-chosen exile – out of deeply felt guilt. 48 years ago, he lost his brother in tragic circumstances that had previously come to him in a dream: “I couldn’t let go of the past”, the man, now in his eighties, explains in this visually impressive debut short film portrait.
