Gela sells secondhand clothes and household items from the back of his minibus while travelling rural Georgia in search of spuds. Money is meaningless in this market - potatoes are lucre. Young and old peer into his truck, their eyes lighting up at the sight of modern conveniences like sponges and lint brushes. It's a riddle that pits rural value against urban valuation, dirt versus gold. (Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival)

Bucks? Euros? Lari? Potatoes! By weight. A day from the life of the Georgian Dibbler Cut-Me-Own-Throat... Um, traveling shop owner, houses look more like a landfill / everything for 10 / who´s next. Basically a filmed Polish reporting school; specifically in this case Gorecki's Planet Caucasus. Minimalist, striking, telling. What more could you want from a short documentary? To be seen on Netflix for fifty (if you have a bargain price, let´s not get the feet too wet and say forty) potatoes a month ()
