Imago

2025 · 109 min

A quiet, contemplative documentary that lingers on questions of home and belonging, asking you to sit with its unease.

Overview: I received a land in Pankissi, Georgia, a valley at the foot of the Caucasus, right by the Chechnyan border, where I was born. In exile, I am thinking of building a house in this remote place, inhabited by descendants of my Chechen clan. But how could I possibly live in such a place?
