The Russia-Georgia movie TELI AND TOLI became the winner of the 7th International Young European Film Festival VOICES.
The action takes place in one of the mountain gorges of Central Caucasus Ridge, where two villages peacefully coexisted since times immemorial, one of them Toli, inhabited by Ossetians, another one Teli, inhabited by Georgians. Two abandoned villages, without gas or electricity, and now divided by state border that follows a shallow river Aragavka. Both Ossetians and Georgians, used to their way of life, cannot accept the border that divides them.

Six films from Germany, France, Armenia, Iceland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia competed for the festival prizes. Russia was represented with one movie only, by director Alexander Amirov. The work took the Audience Choice Prize.
