Iavnana (1994)
Really a good movie
This Georgian drama seeks to renew and reinforce a sense of cultural and national identity as it examines a tragic event in the idyllic life of an aristocratic Georgian family. Much of the film focuses upon their happy and peaceful life of this family comprised of a young couple and their baby daughter Keto. Their life changes when two drifters come in. The two men (who seem to be Muslims from the Azerbaijan republic) are met with hospitality. They repay it by kidnapping baby Keto. I first saw this movie as a kid, in '96. or '97. on Christmas Eve and was delighted with it. I've been looking for it for years - the problem was that i didn't know movie name nor in Serbian nor in English. After a lot of thinking and guessing i found it's name on this site, but this was only the first part of my search. It was nearly impossible to find a DVD, only DVD rips with suspicious video quality were available on internet. At last, I managed to find DVD and to translate it to Serbian. For those who are regularly watch Hollywood movies, this one probably wouldn't be interesting, but I'd highly recommend it for everyone else.
