Georgisches Film Festival: Was sehen wir, wenn wir zum Himmel schauen?

It hits Lisa and Giorgi like a bolt of lightning when they literally run into each other on the streets of Kutaisi - love at first sight. Director: Alexandre Koberidze, Germany/Georgia 2021, 151 min.

It's love at first sight when Lisa and Giorgi meet for a brief moment in the Georgian city of Kutaisi. Love catches them so suddenly that they even forget to tell each other their names. Before they both go their separate ways again, they agree to meet the next day. But the two have no idea that they have fallen victim to a curse. Will they manage to see each other again? And if they do, will they recognize each other? Meanwhile, life in the city goes on, street dogs roam the streets, the soccer World Cup begins and a film crew dedicated to finding true love could be Lisa and Giorgi's salvation ...
