Tato Kotetishvili’s debut feature tells the story of young Gonga and his bookie-pressured cousin Bart. When they find a bag of rusty crosses, the pair decide to fashion them into neon crucifixes and sell them door-to-door.
As Gonga and Bart encounter a range of eccentric characters, Kotetishvili weaves a tapestry of Tbilisi that combines eccentric humour with emotional poignancy.
