Chola the Bear

Directed by Otar Shamatava

With Niko Tavadze, Joséphine de la Baume, Bohdan Beniuk, Georges Corraface and Christian Ulmen

Ursus is a story of three outcasts—Georgian unemployed film director, Ukrainian ex-stuntman and a Canadian female fighter for the wild animals' rights—making their desperate journey from Tbilisi, the capital of ex-Soviet Georgia plunged into a civil war, to Berlin at the beginning of 1992. Each of the three characters pursues their own goal without even knowing how much their fates are intertwined.
