Georgica is a 1998 Estonian drama film directed by Sulev Keedus. The film takes its name from Virgil's poem of the same name.
The action takes place in post-World War II Estonia. An old man lives alone on a deserted island which the Soviet fighter planes use for nighttime target practicing. A young neglected boy, who has become mute, is banished from the mainland and sent to the island to keep the old man company.
