The Trader (Sovdagari)—23
minute short film—is difficult to decipher for the first 5 minutes, then there
is the ‘Oh!’ moment and one settles in for a very interesting watch. Then, suddenly
the movie is over and one is left wanting more when there simply is no more. It’s
not meant to be entertaining, but is exceptionally educational. A good watch
for the entire family that provides excellent opportunity for discussion after watching.
Storyline
Life
in the rural Republic of Georgia is explored through trading second-hand items
for potatoes.
Additional Thanks
Thank
you to Director Tamta Gabrichidze for directing effort. Additional
characters/cast include: Gela, the Trader and miscellaneous villagers from

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe.
One is left wondering about the movie producer’s purpose in making the film.
