MAGIC MOUNTAIN, GE, PL 2023, Mariam Chachia, Nik Voigt

Pills, card games and cigarettes: this is how the days go by in
Abastumani. In a crumbling palatial building high in the Georgian
mountains, people who are chronically ill with tuberculosis live
in complete isolation – until they find out that their unloved
home is to be demolished. In calm and clear images, MAGIC
MOUNTAIN tells of a parallel world and how it begins to
falter.
