In her essay film, the Georgian-Abkhazian director retrospectively explores her identity in a border region filled with trauma and loss. Over 20 years later, she can return to her abandoned house in occupied Abkhazia. A summer house like a spider's web, keeping the first-person narrator trapped in the past. Using the family archive, Anna Dziapshipa reconstructs an intimate portrait of a Georgian-Abkhazian family and reflects on questions of identity and memory work in the context of war.
The film is followed by Q&As with the film director Anna Dziapshipa.
