Ali Chahvadze's Tea

In a sun-burnished village, a measured, quietly observant tea master walks a delicate line between tradition and change. A chance encounter with a younger, restless traveler stirs memories of distant places and unspoken promises, drawing the two into a subtle dialogue about identity, belonging, and what it means to tend a community’s heart. Through simmering ceremonies, shared rituals, and lingering glances, the film delicately captures the rituals of daily life and the quiet drama of generations converging. As tensions softly mount and then ease, the characters learn that small acts of care can redefine a life’s course.
