International Art House Series: April (2025)

Nina is a skilled obstetrician at a maternity hospital in Eastern Georgia. After a difficult delivery, an infant dies and the grief-racked father demands an inquiry into her methods. The resulting scrutiny threatens to bring to light Nina’s work—providing unsanctioned abortions to desperate girls and women—and to destroy the profession that is the only source of meaning in her life. The second feature of acclaimed Georgia director Dea Kulumbegashvili, April is a profoundly committed work that immerses the viewer in the reality of lives constrained by patriarchal tradition.
