Respublika 2022

Directed by Khvicha Emiridze

In the mist landfill lives Dato. Stray animals are Dato’s best friends. He salvages building materials to build an independent “Republic” on the dump. Slowly the strange shape starts to appear. But soon financial crisis starts. He is forced to sell a goat to survive. He falls into a deep depression, as he sees his animals as members of his family. Dato finds new strength to continue. But the crisis doesn’t stop. Gradually he is drawn back into the society he rebelled against. He doesn’t give up the idea of building, but what it will be - Dato’s independent Republic or a farm called Respublika?
