In the remote, mountainous province of Svaneti, Georgia, the Svan people maintain an ancient, isolated culture defined by resilience and deep-rooted traditions. Living at high altitudes, they rely on manual labor and agriculture to survive harsh, six-month winters that cut them off from the outside world. Their lives are governed by strict social roles, a profound connection to their land, and a unique, enduring cult of the dead. As modern influences and tourism begin to reach their secluded valley, the Svan face the challenge of preserving their heritage while adapting to a changing world.
