A custody battle goes awry for mother Lile when her son is sent to live with her mother-in-law, Nina. Time passes and Lile eventually hears that her son, Luka, has been killed in the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict. It's now 1993 and the war is drawing to an end. Lile travels back to the village where Luka was raised to collect his body for burial.
Directed by Giorgi Barabadze, Luka leans on a strong ensemble — Lia Kapanadze, Nino Kasradze, Ketevan Tskhakaia — 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 2016.
