Event description
A rich millionaire, former Prime Minister of Sakartvel, has beautiful old trees. He will pay whatever it takes to put them in his garden. Centuries-old plants the size of multi-storey buildings are not so easily swayed by whims. Subjugating nature is no easy task - digging the deepest holes, cutting power lines and even paving new roads. But the most important thing is to make it beautiful for people. V
The film is in Carthusian with Lithuanian subtitles.
The first ever Sakartvel Film Festival invites you to take a look around Sakartvel and see the most outstanding films from the country in recent years.
The festival programme has been compiled by film curator Edvinas Pukšta.
Organised by the Embassy of Lithuanian and Kartvelian Friendship.

A powerful and anonymous man has developed an unusual hobby. He buys century-old trees, some as tall as 15-story buildings, from communities along the Georgian coast and has them excavated to collect them for his private garden. In order to transplant trees of such dimensions, the landscape surrounding them is ripped apart and the people living around them are forced to adapt to the disruption. As the film follows this process, it portrays the needs and values of today's Georgian society and reflects on the theme of forced migration, where “uprooting” is more than a metaphor. V
