    a fairy tale

    one of the fairy tale from the East important not for fantastic or for magic but for the noble intention to resurrect the past. gray nuances and a long trip. crisis in the life of a family and the attempt to remind old images about a mythical Georgia. the problem, the solutions, the travel - each is well known. but this is the source of seduction of a story, like so many others, in which costumes, landscapes, dialogues and the self definition of Platon are parts from a story behind the birth of world. because the impressions are the lead motif to see the film. and it is enough for explore a state of soul and the essence of tradition.
    Vincentiu

    Crumbs

    The desire of a father to have a new wife. The fear of his son for who a stepmother may be lost of land. And a trip for search the best wife for old Bekina. Slice of Georgian lifestyle in a gray era. Some drops of comedy, few thimbles of drama, some costumes who speaks of lost glory, shadows, light and small characters. The travel of Platon is attempt to define himself. The film - desire to remember the roots of a country in the womb of an empire. So, the movie is an autumn stamp. Some flowers, cold wind, the dust and the regrets. Resignation and the fall. Subtle correction of a "deus otiosus" and the land as only certitude. Crumbs of desire and past.
