"Georgia is at war. Again. And the President can't cope. So he abandons his post and flees into the city to hide in the homes of his unsuspecting civilians.

An absurd comedy about cowardice and power."

Written by Lasha Bugadze - a writer based in Tbilisi, Georgia. His previous credits include Otari, Nugzar and the Mephistopheles and Naphthaline.
