As a person from Tbilisi I witness that this movie verifies reality

I am Georgian myself (from Tbilisi,actually) and this is why it was so painful for me to watch this movie. I am almost certain that the screenwriter and most of the characters are "painted" from the real persons. After all, I have also witnessed beggars in the streets and workless artists. Of course, this is not a complete picture of Tbilisi,but since later is often pictured as sunny and beautiful, I appreciate the filmmaker's courage to show the ugly side of what's happening in his own back yard. Doubtless, technology needs more work;however,taking in mind the situation in my city(as depicted in this movie),I am thankful that its release was possible at all, even with bad film and most likely underpaid actors and that no matter how dark it is in the streets of Tbilisi,some filmmakers still make it.
