Dream Town

An American journalist and his cameraman are caught in the combat zone during the first Russian airstrikes against Georgia. Rescuing Tatia, a young Georgian schoolteacher separated from her family during the attack, the two reporters agree to help reunite her with her family in exchange for serving as their interpreter. As the three attempt to escape to safety, they witness--and document--the devastation from the full-scale crossfire and cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians.

Achieving early success, wealth, and respect is positive, but it has downsides. Giorgi, a symbol of success, neglects his wife Nini, mistreats his assistant, and undervalues others, even closing the first Georgian children’s theatre in Sighnaghi for a Russian restaurant. What will happen when Giorgi experiences life from the perspectives of those he has wronged? How will he feel as a driver, an assistant, the assistant’s wife, or a theatre director? Is it beneficial to be a dog you’re trying to catch on your own orders?
