When Déni inherits a small patch of land in the wild, beautiful valley of Pankissi, he sees a chance to finally build the house in the trees that he's dreamed of since he was a boy. But nothing in the rugged Caucasus is ever simple. Returning to a village just across the Chechen border where he was born - a place he barely knows - Déni stirs up old feuds, buried family dramas, and above all, the question everyone keeps asking: when, and with whom, is he finally going to get married?

Director
Déni Oumar Pitsaev, born in Chechnya in 1986, grew up in Grozny, St. Petersburg, and Almaty. He studied at Sciences Po Paris, then earned a BA in film directing from INSAS in Brussels and an MA in audiovisual arts from LUCA School of Arts, St. Lukas Campus.
