Synopsis & Film Details

Fresno Filmworks presents the Georgian drama “And Then We Danced”, a passionate tale of love and liberation set in the ultraconservative modern Georgian society.

The film follows Merab, a devoted dancer who has been training with his partner Mary for years for a spot in the National Georgian Ensemble. The arrival of another male dancer, Irakli, throws Merab off balance, sparking both an intense rivalry and romantic desire that may cause him to risk his future in dance as well as his relationships with Mary and his family.

Critic Reviews

[A] luminous tour de force

Jude Dry, Indiewire

Gifted as both a thrilling dancer and a nuanced actor, Gelbakhiani’s magnetic presence goes a long way toward papering over some of the more timeworn plot elements.
