A Trip to Karabakh

2005 · 105 min

A grim, slow-burning descent into war and addiction, told through fragmented memories that linger like a bad dream.

Overview: A group of teenage boys from Tbilisi take a trip to Azerbaijan to buy drugs, and end up fighting in the Nagorno-Karabakh War, when they are captured by Azerbaijani militants, with one subsequently being captured by the Armenians. During the course of events, the main character has flashbacks to his relationship with his father, as well as a depressive prostitute.
