Georgia is a hidden gem when it comes to film. What I like is that each one has their own identity rather being a national collective narrative.

Sure, this isn't the best Georgian film (which is "Namme" by Zaza Khalvashi in my opinion) but it has a quite intriguing narrative style (like breaking the 4th wall instructing the audience of how to watch the film) for a love story. And the slow pace is perfect, it's like an ode to Tbilisi.

And for alfiefamily, the curse was spelled 15 minutes in, told by the narrator. That must be a record to fall asleep so fast during a cinema screening.

I write this review due to the fact that I noticed that the vast majority of existing reviews is misleading.

The movie was great but in case you grasp the concept.

The movie's point is to show you an extraordinary fairytale inside the heart of the city while there are thousands of other stories happening at the same time. And these stories matter in the perspective of director.

The director successfully builds the big picture of our civilization where terrible things happen around us but we simply don't observe them. It is like everyone lives in his own micro-world without caring about others.

It is pretty normal for a lot of people to not like it as they are used to Hollywood movies .

This was absolutely one of the best movies I saw this year. I know the town and I fell in love with it anew. All the beautiful shots, people and dogs are harmoniously whirling around in the sunny streets of the city. This is a true cinema where you are part of the experience, and music helps to elevate the feeling.
