36 hours from the life of musician Gia, who plays the timpani in the orchestra in Tbilisi and is characterized by both his kindness and his regular lateness. Spontaneous human contacts appear more important to him than his work. Gia is an unconventional dreamer, unable to find a relationship with time that harmonizes with his surroundings. Iosseliani exclusively filmed at original locations and cast almost all roles with amateur actors from his circle of friends. To start, a tribute to the craftsmanship and cultural traditions of Georgia in the form of a film poem: graphics, wall paintings, winemaking, pottery and carpentry, and singing from the various regions of the country.
