April

Nina (Ia Sukhitashvili) is an ob-gyn living an austere life in eastern Georgia at the foot of the Greater Caucasus mountains. Like the landscapes that surround her, Nina possesses a stark and rugged character -- easily distinguishable in a place where independent women can find themselves at a disadvantage. Nina endures the hardships of life, and allows her pain to fuel her ambitions. Despite constant obstacles, she is steadfast in her choices and grounded by her mission. As well as doing her ob-gyn job, tending to those in the throes of excruciating labour, she performs clandestine abortions for desperate women on her own time.
