Ana Makharadze

Something

Landscape blends with narrative through a journey of the human heart as a woman healing from trauma.

And Then We Danced

Merab, a devoted dancer, has been training for years with his partner Mary for a spot in the National Georgian Ensemble. The arrival of another male dancer, Irakli, sparks both an intense rivalry and romantic desire that may cause Merab to risk his future in dance as well as his relationships.

When You Are 17

Romantic affection of a 17 year old Kurdish boy takes a dark turn, as he wanders through ghetto of Tbilisi with his drug-dealer friend, discovering the bittersweet taste of life.

Nina

Nina is barely 40, she is attractive and successful: a stable marriage, a trusting relationship with her husband, a little son, a favorite job. The idyll of pleasant stability is broken by a call from the past - Nina's ex-lover Ruslan is dangerously ill and asks her to come to Tbilisi to see him, perhaps for the last time. The husband does not mind, he knew about their relationship in the past. Nina is happy to go to the city where she was happy in order to support a once loved one in a friendly way. She believes she loves her husband and family and plans to return home soon, not expecting this light trip to be her last.

The Pool

In a hauntingly beautiful town, permeated with the remains from the past, a young woman and her daughter arrive at night to meet the woman’s mother. A few days of their stay in a timeworn hotel are filled with a sense of anticipation, uncertainty and uneasiness, as they share intimate moments or find themselves in potentially dangerous situations. Tense meeting in the flooded room where the child sees her grandmother for the first time hints at the unhealed emotional wound from the past. Impossibility of their connection is reflected in the child’s gaze. Swimming in the pool seems to be the only thing the young woman shares with her mother.

One Way Ticket to Tbilisi

Joni is dead. His girlfriend Lena receives the devastating news in a hospital in Georgia, where Joni had spent several months. Far from home, he wanted to find himself again. However, as Lena soon finds out, what he also found is an art student named Nana.

Beautiful Helen

Helen is 25 years old. After finishing university, she comes back to her homeland from New York. The life was following its own route in her absence. Everything is foreign here for the returned Helen. Helen tries not only to find her place in Tbilisi - once a familiar environment for her - but also to find herself and find the keys that fit the locks of the main existential questions of life. Her encounter with film director Gabo is the start of an adventure that takes us into the minds and souls of a man and a woman, and old and a young soul. Their encounter is the start of a journey that encompasses more than just physical trip.
