Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry

48-year-old Etero is single and self-confident in life. She cherishes her freedom as much as her own little shop and the blackberries she enjoys picking to make her own jam. In her Georgian village, however, she is the centre of gossip because the villagers do not understand her independent way of life. Despite the gossip, she is proud of her unconventional life and fully supports her decision to stay on her own. Until, after a near-death experience, she falls like a log for supplier Murman. After 48 years of virginity and untetheredness, Etero suddenly finds herself in a passionate relationship, after which she is faced with the inevitable choice: on alone or together?

Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry is based on feminist writer Tamta Melashvili's celebrated novel. With great charm and picturesque camerawork, director Elene Naveriani brings this internationally acclaimed portrait of a headstrong woman balancing between the pleasure of sexual discovery and the liberating independence of being alone.
