For 14 year-old best friends Eka (Lika Babluani) and Natia (Mariam Bokeria), their childhood in the run-down but still beautiful city has come to an abrupt halt, as insecurity and fear of what the future might bring holds sway in everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>The introverted Eka lives in a book-filled apartment with her dismissive sister and her distracted mother; the precocious Natia, just becoming aware of her appeal to the local boys, lives in the chaotic atmosphere of a cramped apartment with her extended working-class family, dominated by her alcoholic father. But like most schoolgirls, Eka and Natia are far more concerned with the drama of teenage life outside their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed Natia has already attracted not only the attention of handsome Lado but also local criminal Kote, who is not going to tolerate rivals without a fight. It is the gift by Lado to Natia of a pistol, something to \u2018protect herself with\u2019, that fractures the lives of both girls and tests their relationship, as each responds to pressures beyond their control in very different and life-changing ways.<\/p>\n<p>Drawn from writer &amp; debut co-director Nana Ekvtimishvili\u2019s childhood memories, IN BLOOM has the rich texture of authentic lived experience. Anchored by radiant performances and beautiful cinematography by the renowned Oleg Mutu (<em>4 Months, 3 Weeks &amp; 2 Days<\/em> and <em>The Death of Mr. Lazarescu<\/em>), this gripping and profoundly affecting film marks the directors as among the most exciting new talents in world cinema.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trybooking.com\/book\/event?eid=254965\">Book tickets for this screening.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com.au\/maps?q=107+victoria+harbour+promenade&amp;bav=on.2,or.r_cp.&amp;bvm=bv.117218890,d.dGY&amp;biw=1329&amp;bih=965&amp;dpr=1&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiJiaKjgNPLAhUDlKYKHempDb8Q_AUIBigB\">Screening at Performance Space at The Dock, 107 Victoria Harbour Promenade, Docklands.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN BLOOM Georgia 2014 Drama 102 min Director: Nana Ekvtimishvili &amp; Simon Gross Cast: Lika Babluani, Mariam Bokeria Awards: 2014 Academy Awards selection (Best Foreign Language Film) &amp; Winner of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[64],"class_list":["post-2236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-euraw-stories","tag-64","no-post-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2237,"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2236\/revisions\/2237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euraw.com.au\/staging\/3790\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
