War in Abkhazia, 1992. An Estonian man Ivo has stayed behind to harvest his crops of tangerines. In a bloody conflict at his door, a wounded man is left behind, and Ivo is forced to take him in.
What's left behind the scenes
- Georgy Nakashidze, who plays the role of a Chechen named Akhmed, is actually Georgian.
- The film is dedicated to Levan Abashidze, a well-known Soviet and Georgian actor who died in the war with Abkhazia.
- It took two weeks to write the film's screenplay.
- When preparing for his first film shoot, Lembit Ulfsak asked for leave from the theater, packed his things, and got ready to leave, only to learn that the start of filming was postponed due to financial difficulties. Later, the actor recounted that it was extremely awkward for him to ask for leave from the theater a second time.
- There are no women in the film.
- Estonia submitted the film "Mandarins" (2013) for the "Oscar" in the "Best Foreign Language Film" category in 2015.
- The first Estonian-produced (co-produced with Georgia) feature film to be nominated for an "Oscar".
