Blue Mountains, or Unbelievable Story

An inspired satire by one of Georgia's leading directors Eldar Shengelaia, "Blue Mountains" is a disarming and cleverly precise critique of bureaucracy as stifling stasis, set in a publishing house in Tbilisi. An author - a passive young man - enters the Soviet-controlled bureaucracy of Georgia attempting to get his novel published only to be neglected and compartmentalized at every turn. Time passed but it seems there's not person in the house who has read the manuscript, all are engaged in the activities totally alien to the publishing house profile.
