Giorgi Jibladze

In the hot summer of 1917, the nineteen-year-old peasant Georgy Zakareishvili left his village in search of work and, settling on a French ship, soon found himself in Paris, where he married a Frenchwoman. Modest wealth, beloved wife, sons and a faithful friend helped him to endure separation from his homeland. When the opportunity came to his homeland, George was already old and could not postpone the upcoming meeting with his native Georgia. He tried to convey his love to his grandson George: he sang folk songs, taught Georgian, talked about the people of his village. And now, in fulfillment of his grandfather’s orders, George the Younger took his ashes to his homeland...

The film consists of the children's novellas: "Men", "Metodievna", "Khecho", "Grapes", "Champions", "Hat", "Eagles". Each of them tells us about kindness and justice, Georgian traditions and hospitality, and the characteristic qualities of Georgians.
