Georgian-born director Alexandre Koberidze is following the 2017 award-winning debut feature LET THE SUMMER NEVER COME AGAIN with his graduation film from Berlin’s DFFB that he describes as a “romantic tragicomedy with documentary and magic cinematic elements.”
DER WIND WEHTE (WIND HAS BLOWN) centers on Lisa and Giorgi, who fall in love at first sight during a random encounter in the street. It happens so quickly that they even forget to ask each other’s names. They set a date, time and place for the following day and continue on their ways. But Giorgi and Lisa are not alone during this strange moment. Someone who witnessed their encounter places a curse upon them, so that they wake up with completely changed appearances the next day...
