Alexandre Koberidze’s existential fairy tale unfolds like a dream over a long, hot summer of thwarted romance and World Cup fever. In Georgia’s ancient capital Kutaisi, pharmacist Lisa (Oliko Barbakadze) and footballer Giorgi (Giorgi Ambroladze) find their budding love affair cut short by a curse that transforms their appearances the day before a fateful date. As the star-crossed lovers slowly make their way back together, Koberidze delves into the magical mundanity of everyday life, from stray dogs to kids at play. Shot in luminous 16mm, this is a warm and whimsical film with plenty to say about the state of the world, announcing a major new talent in Georgian cinema.
