Celebrated as a major discovery of the 2013 Berlinale, this beautifully crafted story follows two young girls coming of age in post-Soviet Georgia. As civil war rages in the newly independent state, two 14-year-old best friends just want to talk gossip, music and boys. But as insecurity and fear overcome everyday life, their childhoods come to an abrupt halt in this multi-award-winning, semi-autobiographical drama.

BGS members attending the screening will be invited to the after party, including drinks, dancing, DJs and two young singers from Georgia – Megi and Magda Gagoidze – performing songs from Tusheti. BGS members who have purchased tickets to the screening and wish to attend the after party should email info@britishgeorgiansociety.org to receive their invitations.
