Giorgi Bochorishvili

In the Georgian riverside town of Kutaisi, summertime romance and World Cup fever are in the air. After a pair of chance encounters, pharmacist Lisa and soccer player Giorgi find their plans for a date undone when they both awaken magically transformed with no way to recognize each other.

Lisa, a photographer, has gone missing. The last known detail is that she had been photographing rural football stadiums in villages across Georgia. Her father, Irakli, sets out to search for her, traveling from place to place. Levani, Lisa's best friend – and an invisible person – also sets off to help.

The plot revolves around the residential complex "Venice", which cannot be completed for seven years. Twenty would-be owners gather in one of the apartments to start negotiations with a potential investor who wants to build a restaurant on the first floor of the building, but this space is already owned by the priest. Some of the tenants must donate their own area, so as not to anger God.

A young man searches for his path to God only to find it in sin.

The change in Giorgi’s life could not be more radical. The city, art, his regular, middle-class existence and his marriage to Ana are all behind him. Now he is alone. Giorgi goes into isolation on a small barren island in a simple hut by the sea. In an inhospitable environment, surrounded only by a handful of strangers, between chicken farming and duck hunting, he is trying to pick up the pieces of his life. But his wounds are deep, and the shadows of his happy past repeatedly catch up with him.

Lifetime friends and neighbors from the same year in Old Tbilisi turn into enemies and confront their fellow neighbor's family when an investor shows up to buy their yard and houses.

The world of a 40-year-old filmmaker is thrown into chaos when he accidentally kills his wife's lover.

A young man leaves his village to go into the city to audition to enter a dance company. He then is involved in illegal activities such as boxing and sleeping with men for money. Unwillingly, he falls in love with a man and suddenly is accepted in and starts dancing in the company. But his life will turn upside down when his lover goes to war and he returns to his village.

In the 21st century, fairy tales have ambiguous endings. A great love that the whole city talked about — between a Bundeswehr soldier of unheard-of beauty and the fastest bicycle courier in town — becomes impossible because of her service in Afghanistan. A sad, yet not hopeless story about impossible love in times of war — and about a city where everyone knows everything and the façades of the houses are especially beautiful on Sundays.
