In Bloom (Georgian: გრძელი ნათელი დღეები; Grdzeli nateli dgheebi) is a 2013 Georgian drama film directed by Nana Ekvtimishvili and Simon Groß. It is a bildungsroman focused on the friendship between two teenage girls in 1992, after the independence from the Soviet Union. The film premiered at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival, winning the C.I.C.A.E. Prize.[1] It was selected as the Georgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards.[2] Variety defined it as "an intimate drama about two very young woman destined by differences of class and character for very different fates, and also as a portrait of a fascinating period in the country’s social history".[3] The artistic style is influenced by post-communist Romanian cinema, particularly by cameraman Oleg Mutu, who also worked on 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007).[3]
