What do we find when we examine the minds of real people while collecting data and statistics? This is shown in a film that goes behind the scenes of sociological field research in Tbilisi, Georgia. An older woman resolutely knocks on one door after another in order to have hundreds of detailed conversations with a random sample of people of different beliefs, backgrounds, ages, fears and hopes. Her job allows her to understand today’s Georgians remarkably well, and perhaps protects the retired teacher from bitter solitude and isolation. Beneath the layer of views about gender equality, local politics or Russian and European influence in the country, a picture of contemporary Georgian society gradually emerges from individual living rooms.
