The day after his funeral, the corpse of Varlam Aravidze, the mayor of a small Georgian town, turns up in his son's garden. Although it is secretly reburied, the corpse keeps returning until the police capture the local woman who is responsible. This woman says that Varlam should never be laid to rest since his Stalin-like reign of terror led to the disappearance of her family and friends.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A surreal political fable where a corpse won't stay buried, blending dark comedy with the weight of historical atrocity. It's a nightmarish vision that uses the grotesque and the absurd to interrogate complicity, trauma, and whether redemption is possible for those who wielded authoritarian power.
