Jara

Description

Jara is a fairy tale of a one year journey through the mountains of Ajara and of the shifting boundary between human habitat and wild nature. It tells of bees in the forest, of the beauty and ruthlessness of nature, of people and their lives within it. The film illustrates the everyday struggle of people or animals for survival and well-being. This film is a celebration of survival and of a unique landscape and biodiversity still existing in a small pocket of our modern world. Its importance goes beyond its size, it represents a vital part of our heritage and existence on earth and links this corner of the Caucasus with all such places still in existence in the world. In illustrating the many facets of its beauty the challenge of ensuring its continuation in tandem with the challenges of the modern world is laid bare.
