Our take

An empowering love story suffused with mystery, this beautifully crafted gem from Georgian filmmaker Elene Naveriani interrogates the role of community in enforcing chronic social orthodoxies. Profoundly humanist, Wet Sand is a deeply affecting tale of resilience in the face of small-town bigotry.
