Abstract:
In a small, somewhat surreal Georgian village, a mysterious woman is put on trial for repeatedly digging up the body of Varlam, the town's recently deceased ruler. The trial progresses, and it's learned that the woman's parents perished under Varlam's vicious, despotic reign of terror - along with many other innocents. As her ghastly revelations gradually reveal the truth about Varlam's monstrous inhumanity, the movie is transformed into a searing exposé of the brutal repressions, and heroic sacrifices, of the Soviet Union's mystery-shrouded Stalinist era.
