Two people find their lives entwined amidst the relentless grip of loneliness in the bustling streets of Tbilisi.

Eka (Tina Lagidze) is a successful TV presenter in Tbilisi, but her life spins out of control when the immigrant relative she usually pushed aside goes missing. Lado shuts himself off from the world, until he witnesses a construction worker fall to his death. Eka and Lado meet only once, but they impact each other’s lives unknowingly.

Director’s note: What fascinates me most is the nature of human emotions. We are neither bad nor good, we are just human and nothing human is alien to us. Society imposes its own rules upon us and we go with the flow. Trapped in our minds, families, circle of friends or social class, all we see is what can be seen from our viewpoint. We hardly ever look beyond the fence surrounding us, and fail to realise that sometimes a boring five-minute conversation we hoped had never started can be crucial to the other person.
