Tangerines (Georgian: მანდარინები Mandarinebi, Estonian: Mandariinid) is a 2013 Estonian-Georgian film written, produced, and directed by Zaza Urushadze. Set during the 1992–1993 War in Abkhazia, the film's themes span conflict and war, reconciliation, and pacifism.[3][4] It was filmed in Guria, Georgia.

Tangerines was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film award at the 87th Academy Awards and the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, but ultimately lost to the Polish film Ida (2013) and to the epic Russian film Leviathan (2014).[5][6][7]
