“The Earth told the conscience: you are heavier than me”- says an old lady from Pshavi in 

the beginning of the film. The camera crew traveled through Georgia, collected crumbs of 

grief and joy of Georgian mothers and included them in the film. So what the ladies say? 

Some remember the happiest days of their lives, some mourn over their husbands, some 

grieve for their past. And one lady dreams of her children maintaining their background.

Serenity of a green wooden bench at the lake and Alqaida 

A bench in the park, among trees, what it once itself was – once a living creature, a tree with 

green leaves, with a soul… Now a fallen tree, made to a bench, loosing its soul, while still 

regaining another one, in an almost new static evergreen reality, gazing with much sadness 

at the past, with a glance in the eternity…

IGOR SANOVICHI, ESKIZI PORTRETISTVIS 

A very extraordinary man lives in a small flat in Moscow. His name is Igor Sanovich. He 

can recognize hidden masterpieces among faceless drawings, oil paintings and handcrafts. 

During his long lifetime he managed to collect huge collection of creative art pieces of different 

epochs, cultures and nations. This collection can be referred to as a collection of saved 

ítems. Igor Sanovich saved those ítems the way one saves human beings. And the survivors 

have become like members of his family.

The Women from Georgia 

KALEBI SAKARTVELODAN 

Georgian women working illegally in the USA as a day-and-night attendants to the elderly 

people and supporting their families staying in Georgia by the money they earn, have just 

one day-off per month. They spend this day together in an illegal hotel located in Brooklyn 

making attempt to forget their hardship which is often reminiscent of slavery. They try to forget 

that for many years they have not seen their husbands and children who have become 

so accustomed to receiving money from America that they seem not even looking forward to 

the women’s returning home.

Silent Faces 

DADUMEBULEBI 

From The Series Of “10 Minutes Of Democracy” 

Can human faces express tacitly the hell they have passed through... the film is an experiment 

and an attempt to show tragedy, which can hardly be expressed only by words and 

dramatic shots. The film is only a space – 10 minutes of silent space which provides time to 

think about self connection with the August war of several days duration.

A young man takes away a handbag from a woman in the street. To escape from the chase 

he bursts into a dark room of a nearby building. Employees of the organization lock the 

building and go away. The man finds out that he is locked in the morgue... We learn the 

young man’s story during the strained night. It appears that he has many problems and 

intends to solve them in the morning immediately after his captivity comes to an end. When 

the morgue employee opens the door the young man runs away at a breakneck speed, but 

he is not fated to fulfill his plans.

For Life 

SITSOTSKHLISATVIS 

Khevsurian duel “Chra-Chriloba” (Cut-Wound) is probably the only one of its kind on the 

globe which regulates the process of redeeming blood with the blood. It has the following 

condition: if one sheds one’s blood one has to redeem it with blood. If you kill anyone you 

will be killed. If you disable anyone you will be disabled. It means that blood if taken away 

has to be returned. But where is the way out? The way out is provided by the strict rules of 

the struggle. 

To study those rules two emigrants visit mountainous Khevsureti and receive last lesson of 

the Mountain Law from a 90-years old master.

Phalavani - 

The Unknown Wrestler 

PHALAVANI – UTSNOBI MOCHIDAVE 

In Georgia, every wrestler who wins a champion’s title has to defend it in his native village 

where he is challenged by a local wrestler. This tradition has its champions-losers but it’s not 

easy to find the unknown winners. As a rule, the champions who have been humiliated by 

the village wrestlers don’t remember the names of the winners. We did find one of them.

Jakho’s Lodgers 

JAKOS KHIZNEBI 

A blowing wind can become one of the main characters of the film. 

A breeze, a storm, a light wind… They will serve as the visual basis of the film. One just 

has to envision the stern and straw yellow landscapes of Shida Kartli, one of the regions in 

Georgia, to grasp it the way we see it… 

One can also view the main characters according to the wind types: Teimuraz is a light wind, 

Margo is a breeze and Jakho is a storm… Ultimately, the combination of these three characteristics 

results into the storm that will blow away all of them by the end of the film.
