Corn Island (Georgian: სიმინდის კუნძული, romanized: simindis k'undzuli) is a 2014 Georgian drama film, directed by Giorgi Ovashvili, following an entire summer during which a grandfather and granddaughter attempt to harvest a crop of corn grown atop a silt island in the Enguri River amidst tensions involving military conflict, ethnic differences and the sexual awakening of the granddaughter. The film featured both Georgian and Abkhaz spoken languages, while a version was released that also included English language subtitles.
