In 1994, Otar Iosseliani temporarily returns to Georgia to make a documentary film for the Arte channel. This return is not a homecoming in the traditional sense. The film does not seek to “present” or “explain” Georgia to a Western audience; instead, Iosseliani observes his own country as if it were unfamiliar - fragmentary and without chronological hierarchy. This gaze is sometimes nostalgic, but more often skeptical; frequently painful, yet still filled with love.
