Join us prior to the screening at 7pm for a glass of Georgian wine, sponsored by 80-20 Shops. Known for its rich and distinct flavour, the use of “Qvevri”(earthen pot) instead of Oak barrels to age and store wine, is unique to the Georgian viticulture traditions. Visit 80-20 Shops to explore a wide range of wines, spirits and delicatessen from Georgia.

This deft satire of Soviet bureaucracy from one of Georgian cinema’s great poets follows Soso, an aspiring novelist looking to publish his latest manuscript. It soon becomes apparent that the publishing house is staffed by a host of oblivious employees interested in everything but literary merit. As his frustration mounts, the narrative sails seamlessly towards its devastating final image, a darkly comic indictment of a system crumbling before a people’s very eyes.
