Guri and his mother, Sanata, have spent all of their life in a remote mountainous gorge in Georgia, distanced from nearly any signs of urban civilization. Farming, beekeeping, and cheesemaking have been their lives’ routine for decades.
While witnessing the daily life of mother and son, the audience is immersed in the non-verbal, contemplative relationship the two have, and through the camera’s gentle gaze, effortlessly enters into the rural reality as an inseparable part of their being.
Through an utterly touching motherhood story, REQUIEM TO THE HOT DAYS OF SUMMER embraces sadness, silence and solitude, which follows every human being as the primordial seal of their fate and brings up reminiscence of a blissful way of life, which is still present in the unconscious memory of humanity.
