The Winter Blues...

concept – the Naked Loneliness

- This looks nice, yeah?

I told you, hanging out and getting fresh air would make you feel better!

- Do you like it?

- Of course!

- Come on … It’s hard to guess whether he is having diarrhea or got busted while wanking

Winter Blues

- Will you remove your feet from the sofa?

At least remove your shoes, don’t you see, you are ruining it!

What are you doing?

That’s all!

- Why are those stars on the ceiling? Do they have a professional relevance?

- No, this was my child’s idea, she says it’s fun!

- How old is she?

- She goes to school this year.

- Cool.

Is she your only child?

- No, I have a girl and a boy. The boy is already a sixth-grade pupil.

Ana told me that you are writing a novel.

- I am trying to write it

- What is it about?

- It’s about war and love

- About war?

- No, I am kidding. Just, I do not even know myself what it is about.

That’s the problem.

V.O. - My father used to go to the psychologist, and as an ordinary Homo Sovieticus,

I also thought that whoever visited the psychologist was insane.

Once, I even said – “If he is insane, why don’t you take him to the mental asylum?

What if he kills all of us?”

Don’t be afraid no one will kill you _ told my mother.

She was right - my father committed suicide. He even left a letter, which is a typical scenario.

Without a letter, suicide is just a manifestation of nihilism.

A psychologist at least should say what’s wrong with the patient; I am also expecting something like that.

But instead, she will just directly say that I need to change my environment.

- Have you thought about changing the environment?

- Is that you?

- Are you at home?

- Yes

- What about the session?

- I have already attended.

I told you this morning that the psychologist had rescheduled the meeting.

- I forgot.

What did she say?

- Well, she is a good girl.

- Are you visiting her to create a family?

- No, seriously, we always have a great chat.

Well, usually I speak and she listens.

- As usual, indeed.

- Yeah, she is a great listener

- And, what’s your conclusion?

- As usual

- So?

- She recommended changing the environment

- Is that a diagnosis?

- When a psychologist does not know how to help a patient, she or he recommends changing the environment

- So, you wasted your time!

- I wasted my time for a good cause

- What?

- Well, when a psychologist doesn’t know how to help a patient, she or he recommends changing the environment

- Great! How much did we pay for that phrase?

- That’s not the right question!

How much did we pay for the investment, that’s the correct one!

- How much did we pay for the investment?

- Darling, don't count your chickens before they hatch!

- And where do you plan to change the environment?

- Probably, both of us will like it!

- Yeah, and where?

- I don’t know, maybe in the village?

Okay, let’s go somewhere else.

Do you want some coffee?

- No.

- A cup of tea?

- No.

- What are you doing?

- What do you think?

- Sandro, please don’t!

Sandro, please! Sandro, please don’t!

- What’s wrong with you?

V.O. - Once, I participated in a writing competition, which was followed by a letter from one of the critics.

This guy spat in my soul and made my knees tremble.

In short, my prose and I were screwed up at the core.

I became depressed. I was not telling Ana, but when she bothered me, I showed her the letter.

Then she looked at me and said – “these are the most scared guys; they want to write but they are afraid of critics.”

At this moment, she was looking at me in a way that I was feeling huge energy coming from her.

That’s why I remember the romance period as the best one.

And now she is looking at me like she never loved me

like I am a stranger with whom she shares some memories that she doesn’t love.

So, it’s bad.

- Hey, Schumacher! Slow down or you will get dropped off the bus!

- I am sorry, they drive like crazy!

- Yeah, It’s OK!

- I’ll help you, give it to me.

- Thank you!

- They never showed up?

- Yeah, it seems like that!

- Where do you live? - There, in the upper end of the village!

- Would you believe me, if I tell you that I am going that way as well?

- There’s nothing unbelievable, it’s not Mumbai! There are only upper and lower areas in the village!

- Wow, have you ever been to India?

- Yes - And to Goa?

- No, only in Mumbai.

- I am Sandro! - Hello, I am Sesili!

- I love this place a lot!

- Me too, I have spent my entire childhood here

- Really?

- Where are you originally from? Are you also from here?

- Well, partially! I used to come here during summertime

- And my mother used to take me to the city to meet my grandma. You should see how dead that place is.

And I was always thinking, why mom brought me from village to the city for a vacation.

- So, it seems you are re-living your childhood!

- Wow, I have not even thought about it.

- Wow! - Hello!

- Hi there! - How are you?

- I am good, how are you? - I am fine, sorry for the disturbance!

- No, It’s fine! - What fine?

- Forget it! It is, what it is!

- Is he your friend? - No, I don’t think so

- I thought we could join them. I have not played with fire since childhood

- Do you like playing with fire?

- Only literally

- By the way, I am sure you would have loved skimming stones in your childhood!

- Wow, you are an athlete! I could never do that!

- It’s easy, the most important thing is to choose the right stone and that first bounce on the water!

- Really? - Yes

- That’s the entire philosophy and I am not able to do that!

- Though, you can play with the fire, yeah? - Is this a rhetorical question?

- Yeap, let’s go! I presume, he won’t throw us out! - OK

- Were you not told as a kid, not to play with fire, otherwise you might pee your pants?

- What? - I was told and I was always peeing my pants!

- All of us were peeing our pants in childhood!

- Good evening! - Hi!

- Hello!

- We were wandering around and decided to say hello!

- Great!

- Is it your car?

- Yeah - So cool!

- Thanks! - I always wanted this one!

- It’s cool!

- By the way, I am Sesili and he is Sandro!

- I am Vako! - Nice to meet you!

- I did not mean to bother you, just Sesili saw the fire and could not wait to come

- Well, it was your idea but it’s OK

- Come on, let’s drink!

- Did you catch anything? - Yesterday, I was fishing the whole day and …

- Wow, it’s too strong, yeah?

- Is it your first time here as well?

- No, I used to visit this place when I was a kid during the school trip, but this is my first time as a tourist

- Corn would be nice! - Oh yes!

- Let’s steal it!

Let me remind you that you were the guy cherishing childhood memories, come on!

- The stolen corn has a different taste yeah?

- Fuck!

- Give this to the girls!

- Hurry up! Throw them! Come on! That’s it! Let’s go!

- Vako! Vako!

- You were right, the stolen corn tastes exactly the same as the one we could buy!

- Told you! It’s slightly burnt!

- Never mind, still tastes good!

- Here, the locals are walking very gingerly.

When I was a kid,

My sister used to scare me by saying that ghosts were sneaking up and kidnapping children at night!

- Why did she do that?

- It was a tradition. When she was a little kid, others used to scare her!

As she grew up, she carried on that tradition and scared me!

Wait, I’ll be back.

- I’ll follow her, Okay? - Yeah, sure!

- Where did they go?

-They went to the camper; Shall we go as well?

- Wait, let’s first say goodbye. I guess they will come back again, yeah?

- I am not sure. I guess they won’t leave everything like that.

- Cheers to our meeting! - Cheers!

- Wow, you scared me! You came so quietly!

-May I? - Wait, I will move a bit!

- Please don’t, there’s plenty of space!

Did you get burnt? - Really? Even though it was cloudy!

- Are you alone? - Yes, I hardly escaped from my brother

- How old is your brother?

- He is fifteen. Recently he has been very active. He chats a lot and gets on my nerves.

- Come on, he is just happy. When I was the same age, others used to get on my nerves.

Have you ever swam across the lake?

- No - Come on, let’s do it!

- I don’t want to!

- Then, let’s discover the corals!

- No, thanks!

- Do you need a helping hand? - I guess I reached it, nope?

- Nope! Give it to me, I’ll do it!

- Wait, I will turn around…

just don’t apply too much and only on the back.

Thanks!

- Hello, I am Okay.

Yes, I am at the lake. No, I will not get burnt.

Yeah, I cleaned the house and managed some stuff. OK, bye.

I have not felt so good for a long time! The city is horrible, crazy, and dirty.

And people living there are different as well.

- How different?

- They are aggressive and boring.

Like everyone is rushing, but if you follow them, they will end up watching TV or scrolling.

They are angry.

But the most terrible thing is that they are all the same.

- Me too?

- I don’t know, maybe you are acting like them in the city,

but here you look great and also the village tan suits you well!

Wow, finally!

- What?

- You laughed at my joke.

-Why are you pretending that you do not have a sense of humor?

- Come on, I am like a Georgian football team - So?

-So, my jokes are lifeless and inconsistent.

- You should live each day like it's your last, 'cause one day you gonna be right.

- Who said that? -Woody Allen

- He does not stand out in terms of consistency as well; however, I admit, he is better than me.

-What? -Your skin is hot, don’t you want to get in the water?

- Get in? - Yes

- OK, I quit, but I barely know how to swim.

- Really? - Yes.

- Do you have a plan?

- Well, I have plenty of plans!

- No, I am not talking about the plans which we take with us to the graves.

- Well, in this case, no, I don’t have a plan!

- Do you want to watch an old-style movie?

- Do you mean silent movie?

- I found some cassettes at home, like Bruce Lee and so on

- Do you have a Dragon Island? - Maybe.

- OK, let’s go

- Cocktail, Blue Lagoon… That is Bruce Lee you are saying? You’ve got the hits of 80ies melodramas.

- What’s the point, I can’t still take the cassette out!

- Then, turn on what is stuck there! Go on, try, maybe there is some thriller.

- Should I trust you? - Don’t trust me if you want and let’s split up!

- OK, I trust you!

TV - “Don’t forget that each one of us carries a value which makes us deserve love or at least compassion.

So don’t rush into your conclusions. Did you get me, son?

- yes, I did father. Are you feeling better? You look better than yesterday.

- One more thing son, you and I should sing together “

- And, at this joyful moment, I’ll say goodbye!

- Are you already leaving?

- Yeah, I’ll leave you alone with your emotions. - Wait, I will walk with you!

- No, I don’t want, thanks! - Wait, it’s late!

- No, thanks, stay! I’ll see you tomorrow!

- You have to add two more Laris. - Just a minute!

- If you don’t have it right now, I will take a note and you can bring the cash later

- OK, thank you! - You are welcome, dear!

- See you! - Bye!

V.O. - Carlos Valderrama has authored a great story.

Since organizing the Olympic Games in Corinth, the city’s economy has crashed and everybody became poor,

God, semi-God, and human. There were no jobs, only, several guys used to live on a normal salary.

One of them was Charon, the ferryman of Hades, which was transferring passengers to Styx;

Eventually, everyone went broke,

and Charon started to carry passengers selling his services with the prospect of future payment.

This was happening for millenniums, and one day Charon’s ferry was destroyed.

Charon did not have money to replace it.

So, once when he was transferring a passenger, the ferry sank and Karon stayed with Hades forever.

Thus, the 2009 economic crisis in Greece was triggered by the unpaid loans of Charon.

It’s a funny story. And these village shops and cashiers are like Charon.

If you have cash, you will get a product, if not, you will still get it with the prospect of paying afterward.

And one day, a cashier will die, and probably after centuries, this will cause another economic crisis.

- Hello! - Hi!

- Where are you going to Bro? - That way!

- Get in, will give you a lift! - No, thanks I will take a walk

- Come on, it’s too hot, get in. - OK, drop me off at the crossroad!

- I’ll drive you wherever you want, no problem!

- OK, thanks!

- Will you drink? - No, thanks.

- The fisher and not drinking?

- I am not a fisher. - Are you a newbie?

- I did not get it - If you are not a fisherman then you are a newbie!

- Well, it seems so. - Was it epic?

- So so - Are you originally from here?

- We may say so. - Why are you talking with us with twisted wording?

- Local. Are you local or not? - I was born and raised here...

-So, you are local - Is anything interesting happening here?

- Where? Here?

- Is he kidding? Shall we simplify everything for him? Of course, I mean here, not the USA!

- We, the mountain dwellers, lack iodine, and you are aware of the consequences of lack of iodine.

We need concretizing everything.

- So, do you need explanations? - Are you fucking kidding me?

- Careful dude!

Get out of the car! Turn around! What is this? Are you carrying a knife in your pocket?

- I am not the one you should be messing up with pal!

V.O. - 20% of Georgia’s territory is occupied, and there are 40 000 policemen in the country.

Besides the policemen, there are prosecutors, judges, advocates, special forces, and escorts.

Without criminals, police would not have a job.

Georgia is the only country where there are almost 70 000 unemployed families.

Imagine demonstrations in the streets and protesters on Rustaveli Avenue demanding the rise of crime!

Georgia needs criminals! It would be a complete disaster.

By the way, I am afraid of the police.

Earlier, I used to think that most of them all, I’ve always been terrified by a bear,

well at least, if the bear eats you up, everyone gets angry at the bear,

but if the policeman kills you, some of the people will claim that being a policeman is troublesome. Whatever!

- Uncle Khoshta, please lend us a boat. - Is it you again? I said no and it’s enough!

- Come on, we are not heavy! - Water leaks into the boat!

- Please, just once! - I said the water leaks into the boat!

- I told you, that he would not lend us the boat! -Once! Twice! Lend me! Lend me!

- How are you doing Khoshta? - Wow, Sandrik, I am good, how are you?

- Great, is everything ok?

- Yeah, sure, just the kids are too annoying, asking to lend a boat. How’s life?

- So so - So, you came back, yeah?

- Yeah, for several days! - Great!

- Is it your boat? - Yeah, what’s up?

- Did you fish with a net?

- Of course, not, there are fines imposed for that, if they catch you, you are dead!

- I am glad to hear that! -Did you want anything?

- Could you lend me a boat? I would sail away for a bit - Water leaks into the boat

- Is it too bad?

Well, I applied some resin but this fuker is still not working!

forget it, it’s going to be enough for a city boy! Can you swim?

- Yes.

- So don’t get drowned, in case of failure, leave the boat and swim over...

- Fuck this shit!

Listen, you may go and whenever you finish leave the boat near the house!

- There? - Yes!

- Okay - See you then!

- Thank you Khoshta! - Stay cool bro!

- Khoshta, what should I do with the paddles?

- Do you want me to be frank?

- Okay, okay, I’ll leave them in the boat. - Bye.

- Sesili, I came to take you with me!

Sesili!

- What are you doing? Are you crazy?

Is it your boat? - Nope, it’s my friends’

- Cool! - Never mind!

- Does it have a hole? - Yeah, it does, like your ears! I’m sorry, the ear!

- Yeap, the ear! - Come down, let’s sail away!

- I am afraid of it as it has a hole!

- There is nothing to be afraid of indifference with your ears! Though you have beautiful ears!

-Well, thank you!

- Will not you come down? I swam across the sea to see you! - Where’s the sea?

- Well, the lake!

- Sandro, are we going to sink? - Don’t worry, we are not sinking!

- No, I am not worrying, it’s just a matter of fact!

- Imagine, that you are holding 200g glass with 100g water, would it be semi-heavy or semi-light?

- That test is different yeah?

Because 200g glass with 100g water in it, is both half-heavy and half-light, right?

- You are right, though which one is correct?

- I don’t have a clue!

- The longer you hold the glass in your hands, the heavier it gets. The same happens with the paddles.

The longer you push the paddles the more difficult it gets.

the weight remains the same, however, due to the time factor the boat gets heavier;

thus, it does not matter whether the boat is semi-heavy or semi-light,

the only thing that matters is, for how long will I be able to sail.

- Okay, I got it. So, you know what I will do?

I’ll stop pouring the water out and will see, how long will you be able to sail.

- By doing so, it will get heavier by all means. Did you forget that you don’t know how to swim?

- Today, my family went to the seaside, to the real one.

- Why did not you go with them?

- I prefer to be here, yet.

What? I have not smoked for a long time... I used to smoke earlier. How is your novel going?

- Normally, I guess being here works well. I thought I could not work but…

- Really? Very nice! And why do you write, what for?

- It’s hard to explain, it’s like an ecstasy!

Writing gives me a thrill, like the one of a spaceman landing on the moon.

Just, I could not write in Tbilisi, that’s why I left.

- I got it.

- I also got a question for you!

Are you a fish lover?

What?

- I was expecting you to ask me a very complicated question!

- Usually, you the women complicate things!

- Wow, this conversation quickly escalated from Georgian feast to sexism!

- You see, you started with loving fish, ended up with sexism.

- Aha, so it’s me? - Yes! Will you answer the question or not?

- In short, I love both, the fish and the fish bubble. - Ok! Question number two, do you love blackberry tea?

- Yes! - Really?

- Really! I adore it! - The next question!

- Let me guess! - You won’t guess!

- Okay, you ask me! - Such a nice, joyful and lovely girl!

- Why do I love a fish bubble? For no particular reason!

- Sandro, I am here!

- Sit down. I’ll be back soon!

- What are you doing?

Wow, cool! - Wait.

- The fish and the blackberry?

- Yeah, you said you love it! - Yeah, I adore it!

- I could not get wine, so I mixed the blackberry and vodka, I hope you’ll like it!

- OK, I’ll try! Wow, it’s very tasty!

Listen, is this a smell of oil?

- Okay, I will put it down - No, let it be here, but why did you get it?

- I could not get candles, that’s why!

- Well, I will try this now!

It’s tasteful too! - I caught it!

- Seriously? I told you that you are an athlete!

- Cheers to us! - Cheers!

- I am happy that you are here! - Me too!

What? Do I have something on my face?

- Something strange has happened! Frankly speaking, it has ended,

but the story kicked off on our way from Tbilisi.

Basically, when I was at the shop that day, the cashier had called the police.

- Here?

- Yes, and when she was giving testimony, I heard that the previous night,

two guys entered the shop and asked her about the brothel. They even threatened her.

- Did they harm her?

- No. Just talked inappropriately.

During the next visit to the shop, the cashier asked me if I have heard about a girl who was raped.

- What? Here? Then?

- Then, when I was coming from fishing a car approached me.

I was listening to the music and I could not hear the voice when they were signaling.

When I heard the noise, I moved out of the way.

They stopped the car, I thought they would pass by but they stopped and offered me a lift.

I said I did want a lift, but it was too hot and I still went with them.

They were asking me stupid questions on the way and laughing at me.

- What does it mean “laughing at you”? - Yeah, they were laughing at me and talking abusively,

like they wanted to wind me up, I also told them something inappropriately at some point,

and at the very moment, when they were going to beat me,

the other car crossed the road and strangers jumped from that car…

I could not even guess who they were … - So, were they the police?

- Yes, and they held their guns against us, took me off the car, and dropped me down.

- Are you kidding? And do you think, they are the ones that rapped that girl?

- Yes - Basterds!

- Then I heard from policemen talking, that the car was stolen as well.

- I would kill those guys, indeed!

- Someone said that we shall nurture peace with love and love not with fists

- Have you ever seen this kind of sky in Tbilisi? - No, even the moon is barely visible in Tbilisi.

- A combination of dust and reflected lights make the night sky look reddish,

or something like that... And yet, I have thought about this in a more appealing way

- Are you in charge that I am a sleepwalker? - Seriously?

- Yes - So cool!

- Come on! - You are the only sleepwalker I know.

- Is it true, that smoking a cigarette after sex is gratifying?

- Bullshit! - Why not? It works well!

- That’s because of the movie! Well primarily because of the literature and then the movie.

- What movie?

- I am not sure whether it’s true, but it’s said that for the first time,

an American student has described in the essay how his Summer and himself were smoking after sex.

- Summer?

- Yeah, the girl he met by the name Summer, and the name of the essay was summer as well.

He used to describe, how they were laying in the bed, having sex,

and smoking afterward, it was integrated into the movie as well,

but in this case, it had different esthetics.

The audience was watching delicately chosen shots by the film director, how people were smoking after sex.

- So, are you saying that in the 19th century, people did not smoke in bed?

- I am not proving anything, but I am not so sure that in the 19th-century people used to get up,

put tobacco in the pipe and then go back to the bed, puffed on a pipe, and said with pleasure _ Fabolous!

- Hello! Yeah! What? Where? Wait, wait I’ll come out!

How did you get to the forest, are you a Little Red Riding Hood?

- Such a big forest, did you throw away your brush, because of superstition?

- How are you? - How are you, dude?

- How did you get here?

- I don’t have a clue! I guess I got lost, I could not remember which way we were using before.

What the fuck do you look like? - What do you want? What do I look like?

- Do you know why does the cow has sad eyes? - No

- Because it provides milk every day and gets fucked once in a year.

You look like that cow, there’s nothing to laugh at.

- I guess wondering in the forest had an impact on your humor

- Such a cool flower, is it from your garden?

Fuck off!

- Hello!

- Hello!

- Good morning! - Good morning!

- This is my friend, the asshole Ioane! This is Sesili!

-Nice to meet you! - Nice to meet you too!

- Excuse me, I guess I woke you up, though I wanted to make a surprise;

I traveled along the wrong course and came from the forest… But I guess I still did a good job.

- Would you like a cup of tea? - Sure!

- I’ll do it, stay there. - Really?

- Yes, do you want a cup of tea as well? - No, I will have a coffee

- Then I will have a coffee too, please! - Okay

- Thanks!

- Is she a whore? - You are the whore!

- I have never seen such a beautiful whore! - Stop it! I will explain later!

- Oh, don’t make drama! This is not what you are thinking about! I will explain later!

You know what happens if Ana learns about it! - Quiet! Chat later!

- Thanks!

- Do you want some?

- It’s tasteful.

How’s going? - Well!

- When do you go swimming usually? - It depends

- Well, mainly after midday. It’s too chilly in the morning. Yeah?

- Great! Do you have visitors here?

- Not so much, more visitors used to arrive earlier - And what’s wrong with them now?

- I don’t know, maybe they found a better place

- Are you local as well? - Yes, but I come here during summertime.

- Io, don’t you want to change the clothes?

- Yeah, I would love to! I am exhausted! I got up too early, walked too much, and now I am sleepy.

In case I prolong the sleep, wake me up! - Okay, you can go, the afternoon is a dead hour here.

- Where am I going to sleep?

- Did I scare you? - No.

- Do you like it? - Yes, so far

- What is it about? - War and love.

- Bullshit, seriously

- It’s about a guy who leaves his old life and moves to the forest, tames moose, and opens up to it.

- It sounds like your own story - Really? So, according to this story, you are my moose!

What time is it?

- I don’t know, but as you compare me with the moose, come and make a massage to me.

- What is she doing? - She is getting wet to get tan

- I see that! Why doesn’t she come to the water? - She can't swim

- No! - yes!

- I have to tell you something and please don’t get mad! - What?

- I am watching you the whole day and there is no chemistry at all, well this is my own opinion

- That’s just because you watch us during the day.

- Are you coming? - No.

- So? - We should jump!

- Help me! Wait! Let’s go!

- Is it deep? - Yeah, I guess, I could not reach the bottom.

- Cool! - Bravo!

- Hey! - What?

- Will Sesili join us? - Yes

- When? - She will bring her stuff

- Is she in charge that you are married? - No

- And? Are not you going to tell her? - I don’t know

- Do you know at least something? - No!

- Okay, I won’t tell you anything anymore.

Just so you know, it’s going to be complicated! Why are you doing this?

- Yeah, I know.

Just, I feel good and I don’t know what to do.

- So, when you don’t know what to do, do something and the answers will come themselves!

- Who said that?

- Me!

Lily…

I missed this little monkey so much…

- Yeah, I also desperately miss her…

Will you bring a beer?

- Of course

I’ll get cigarettes and vodka as well.

- Yeah!

- Why did you send me the video?

I am asking you! Why did you send me the video? How could you do this to me?

What did you think, I would sit and watch it happily?

- I don’t get it, what’s wrong?

- I smashed everything that was reminding me of her!

I don’t even meet my parents already for two years!

I go to work early in the morning not to see you and then, I can’t fall asleep because of overthinking about Lily.

Meanwhile, you are sitting there, tipsy, and sending me the videos.

You don’t understand anything at all! You are an egoist, doing things only you want.

- And why don’t you tell me this?

- What should I tell you, Sandro, should you not understand by yourself? Are you silly?

- When should you realize that you hate me?

- I love you the most, that’s why I am feeling so bad now

- Do you think I am fine?

This child was the last one who hugged me and said, that she loved me.

Do you feel me? I do not want to forget her but I still do.

Everything has happened the next day, after shooting this video.

Now we found it accidentally and nobody has watched it yet.

How do you think, I should not have sent this video to you?

Listen! I am ready to overcome this pain once again because there were 3-years of huge happiness behind that.

Do you hear me? I am sure if I forget Lily nothing will be better.

I have been thinking for a long time, whether we should stay together,

but right now I know that I prefer to keep the last hope, rather than to end everything and start a new life.

Neither you, nor I will be able to start a new life, but we can be happy for what we have.

I am sorry but I should have sent this video. I could not do it the other way.

- I have not seen it.

- What? You have not seen the video?

- I paused it as soon as it appeared on a screen.

I have to go; I will call you tomorrow.

- Okay, got it.

- What are you doing? - I am hugging you!

- Did you hear me talking with Ana? - Yeah, entirely.

Shall we drink? - Okay, just let’s do it outside

- Sandrik! What’s up?

- How are you doing? - What’s wrong with you? Come on

- I’ll join you soon

- Once, I was having a vacation in Kvariati, where I met a beautiful girl.

I liked her a lot!

Soon we became a couple and introduced each other to our friends.

In short, we liked each other’s company a lot!

When the time came to leave, I offered her to leave by train, together!

I was not planning to leave but I thought it would be nice to go together.

I would see her off to Tbilisi and then come back.

She didn't wanted that either.

Then I offered her to go and return together, but she refused again!

In the end, it turned out that she was married.

- What a bitch!

- Finally, her husband came and took her, while I was still making some plans.

Have you ever loved a married woman?

- No - No way!

- Io, please put the beers in the refrigerator.

- You are right! I’ll do it!

- What happened?!

Will you ever tell me?

OK, let’s talk later, but so you know, you are acting like a child!

- I have a wife!

- I know, and she is a very beautiful girl.

- How did you know?

- I heard your conversation with Ioane,

and besides I searched for you on Facebook straight away on the first day I met you.

- Ana and I are messed up now

- Who’s Ana?

- My wife - Yeah, sure

- Yeah, we are in chaos. None of us know what we desire,

just I love her so much and I prefer to try my best and get her back rather than divorce

- Please don’t, you have nothing to explain

- I am not explaining, I am just sharing. I have just realized this and…

It’s very pleasant to listen to you, to watch you and to talk to you but…

- But it’s better with Ana!

V.O. - What is meant to be will always find a way!

Before death, one of the perverts told to mourners - what's meant to be will always find a way!

He was right! He assessed his life Post Factum and convinced everyone that no matter how you live,

everything would be predestined.

Those fools believed him and made the rest of the world believe as well.

Nothing is predestined! There is always an option, an alternative, always!

Frequently, the heart screams louder than a brain.

I do not know, what do people mean by saying that deep down in their hearts they felt something,

but damn, I will also repeat the same - deep down in my heart, I also knew what was right to do.

That’s why I came back to you.

Will I tell you about Sesili? _ I don’t think so. At least, not now.

I love you so much that I cannot rely on fate.

And you came back to me for the same reason,

you also have answers to all questions, and your heart also screams louder than your brain.

Thus, I will not tell you anything. Fuck fate!

There are plenty of wretched people on its list.

It will not beat us!

V.O. - It was not a lie!

It seems, changing the environment is an effective therapy. It has changed both the view and the vision.

- See what have I got?
