Temur Babluani

Dans le sud de la Géorgie, dans l'ancienne Meskheti, un jeune homme, Giorgi Toreli, est nommé secrétaire du Raikom. Il vise à faire renaître sa région natale et, pour ce faire, commence à lutter contre la bureaucratie, l'autocratie, la corruption et l'inertie ambiante.

Un jeune homme a décidé de suivre des indications destinées à quelqu'un d'autre, sans savoir où elles vont le mener. Il ignore également qu'un flic sur le fil du rasoir, le poursuit pour des raisons personnelles. Arrivé au terme de son parcours, il bascule dans un huis-clos clandestin, un autre monde, dégénéré, un chaos mental où des hommes parient sur la vie d'autres hommes...

Directed by Temur Babluani.

The director dedicated this lyrical, epic film-confession to the memory of his father who was a doctor. The film’s protagonist, an ambulance doctor, conducts dangerous experiments in search of a vitally important vaccine. His wife believes in his work, though his daughter would not understand him. His son, who is absolutely unlike his father in character, is trying to protect him. But self-denial in the name of science proves too high a price. Just when he is on the verge of discovery, the doctor loses everything he has gathered as a result of his twenty-year-long work. This loss brings him even closer to his son. The shooting of the film continued for seven years (1985-1992), making it a metaphorical culmination of the Soviet cinematography and the Soviet way of life as a whole.
