Shemtkhveviti paemnebi
Blind Dates
Sandro, a single high school teacher in his forties, still lives with his parents. Together with his childhood friend Iva they spend their leisure time dating women online. While these rendez-vous usually end up without any results, everything changes when Sandro meets the married Manana who quickly conquers his heart. Everything goes well until her husband gets out of jail ... “Wrong conclusions and misunderstandings are the driving force of this melancholy comedy, in which everyone meddles with everything but no one really listens, which only leads to yet further confusion.” (Berlinale)
