Not White - Black

Director : Konstantin Esadze
Script : Konstantin Esadze
Photography : Konstantin Esadze   Editor : Levan Kukhashvili, Givi Tukhareli
Georgia, 56 min.

Official Synopses:
"A film about a very special car journey from Georgia to Germany and back, with one very specific goal -- to buy cars cheaply in Germany, and then sell them in Georgia. After receiving their precious visas, they leave Georgia as a group, some with experience, others making this trip for the very first time. They arrive at the Munich airport with one aim: to buy the cheap cars they already found on Internet. The best option is a car used by woman, as it will be sold more easily in Georgia, and of course the car has to be black. These men, from a third world country, who speak neither German nor English, somehow always manage to get the best possible deals..."
Or do they? This real life documentary shows two Gergian men on a business mission. Although at first the men appear very similar, almost the same, little by little they are contrasted with each other. The initial stereotyping of both men and the mission they are undertaking starts braking apart… and the spectators’ judgment is tested.

The Georgian name of this documentary film is TETRI ARA – SHAVI.
