About Lake Paliastomi
Ivane, a Gurian peasant is struggling with social inequality, trying to feed an impoverished family, pay state and rent taxes with extreme physical exertion and timber production. There is little hope for the future.
Directed by Siko Dolidze, Lake Paliastomi leans on a strong ensemble — Sergo Zakariadze, M. Jibladze, Dudukhana Tserodze — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1964.
