The Wishing Tree (1976) is a visually stunning Georgian film from the USSR, directed by Tengiz Abuladze. Set in a rural village at the turn of the 20th century, the film weaves together folklore, dreams, and poetic imagery to tell stories of love, repression, and resistance. Deeply rooted in Georgian culture and tradition, it’s a lyrical meditation on the clash between individual freedom and societal norms — a haunting cinematic fable unlike anything else.
