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.

Composed as a fairy tale and happening in our times in Georgia from Eastern Europe, though not the real Georgia, but an imagined one, where people are benevolent, and dogs are important characters, and all that happens is contemplation of time, love and simplicity. And with the sadness of quiet awareness of the deterioration of environment and political landscapes. A beautiful music score and a good reminder of what art could be when is not in the capitalist discourse.

A magical movie that I will come back to, again and again. After watching the interview of the director I could see that the movie is a mirror of his very kind soul.

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 movie purposefully breaks every movie-making rule in the book. The plot is told by a narrator. The main characters are never really the sole focus of the camera. In fact, the main characters almost never speak on-screen. The main plot is not important. The movie's main focus is the background scenery.

That's what makes it hard to get, if you're not used to this art house kind of film.

Absolutely beautiful shots, good acting, and a bit too slow, but chill pace.

7 out of 10.

I recommend watching this, if you like art house films.

It's been a long time since I watched this kind of bad film. I have no words how I feel after wasting two and a half hours of my life. I just feel humanly angry, because I felt robbed.

Scenery of the film is nice, but the scenario is complete disaster. The whole thing stars intriguingly, but moving every minute forward it gets worse and worse. It's very slow moving, full of fillers and images put without context to the movie.
