True Caucasian

True Caucasian

1931 · 50 min · Comedy

The film mocks the stereotypical image of Caucasians and Georgians. False representations of the Caucasus are satirized: Kakhuri wine flows like a spring on a narrow street of Tbilisi, which is drunk with wine glasses; Barbers shave their clients with a dagger, and if something offends them, they cut them with the same dagger; And A dancing Georgian woman dancing is observing all these without any emotion.
