Repentance

The ruthless mayor of a small town passes away, only to have his body exhumed and reburied multiple times. As his funeral takes place, the story delves into his complex past, revealing his ascent to power and the blurred lines between his public and private persona.

In a small Georgian town, the corpse of a former mayor, Varlam Aravidze, repeatedly reappears after being secretly reburied, leading to a woman's arrest for digging it up. She claims the mayor's past actions, a Stalin-like reign of terror, are to blame for the disappearance of many friends, making it impossible for him to rest in peace.
