The Pankisi Gorge is the place of exile for Chechen refugees and a region with the highest Muslim population in Georgia, where many young men have joined the Jihadists under the influence of Wahhabism advocating a return to the roots of Islam. Iman and Eva, two Muslin girls who learn filmmaking from Mari Gulbiani, the director of Before Father Gets Back, are waiting for their fathers who are away from home. Older women cannot take their eyes off the television reports on the activities of IS terrorist. Boys fool around with one another or sometimes become indescribably lethargic. In a darkened classroom, the white cracked walls serve as a movie screen and the girls watching François Truffaut's film remind us of the lively facial expressions of the children in Víctor Erice’s The Spirit of the Beehive (1973). In the gap between their life of forced conformity and desire to achieve subversion, Iman and Eva make their own film. The two girls' reinterpretation of Chaplin draws out their most natural, honest and liberated side, which makes their film all the more poignant. [KWON Semi]
