Synopsis:
This visually stunning and hugely imaginative film by Russian master Sergei Paradjanov is an extraordinary adaptation of an ancient folk tale about the construction of a Georgian fortress, which continually collapses under its own weight. The building seems doomed to failure until a fortune teller recalls a prophecy that can save it - a young man must sacrifice himself by being walled up alive within the structure. One of cinema's true visionaries, the acclaimed Paradjanov brings the legend to vivid and colourful life.
