Guria

In Guria, in the 1990s, a poor region in western Georgia where progress has not yet arrived after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Gurians struggle for their daily survival with great passion and inexhaustible resourcefulness . Zuriko (45), a hazelnut farmer, has debts but no wife . His best friend Gela keeps trying to set him up, but no woman has satisfied his mother-in-law’s demands . His teenage son, Achi, is hopelessly in love with Erka, but she has her eye on Beso . While father and son are busy with their women’s affairs, life in Guria goes on as usual and all the inhabitants try to get by with little clever tricks, humour and singing .
