Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during the Thaw period of Soviet cinema, when Georgian filmmakers could explore personal emotion over socialist realism. Mchedlidze was rare — a woman director in 1960s USSR.
The title's mundane absurdity is intentional; Mchedlidze believed epic tragedy hides in everyday failures. The 55-minute runtime was forced by censors — she wanted feature length.
