The story about the pensioner Georgi, who spends the rest of his days somewhere in a remote place in Moldova. The lonely old man earns his living by cleaning cauldrons from soot. About events in the world he learns from the rural newspaper which the local postman brings at the same time every day. Georgi has a serious heart condition and quietly awaits his death. He has reconciled with fate for a long time, when suddenly everything in his life changes radically — and all because of the old rural toilet which turns into a teleport and transports the old man into different corners of the world.
What a Wonderful World
Director of Photography
After two years spent as a student in Boston, a 22-year-old visits his native Moldova. It is April 2009. People gather in the streets of Chisinau, the call having spread through social networking sites. They are demonstrating against the communist authorities who falsified the election results. They seize and plunder the parliament and presidential buildings. The demonstrators carry away documents, furniture and office equipment. Our protagonist is coming from a friend's home carrying his own computer monitor. He is mistaken for a demonstrator, brutally beaten up by the police and taken to the police station. His interrogator is an experienced major. The authorities can do anything. Based on real events, the film asks questions about freedom, justice and the price of human life.
