Beginning

In a sleepy provincial town, a Jehovah's Witness community is attacked by an extremist group, causing Yana's familiar world to slowly crumble. As she struggles to make sense of her desires, a detective intrudes on her home with devastating consequences. Inspired by true events, Beginning is a powerful and unflinching character study that explores themes of faith, family, and sexuality. With bold and meticulous compositions, this debut feature from Georgian writer-director Dea Kulumbegashvili is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged film.
