Gvantsa...
Why’s the cow in here?
It's cold outside.
She doesn’t get cold, she’s a cow!
If I’m cold, then she’s cold.
Bring her back out.
Faster, go!
Don’t worry, Masha, I know a lot of hiding places.
Nana!
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hurry!
Nana, the noise, the noise!
It’s like he’s trying to hammer into my skull!
Who?
Old man Goga.
He can’t keep going forever, he’ll stop eventually.
The old bastard’s gonna outlive us all,
but if he keeps it up, I’ll kill him myself!
Fine, I’ll talk to him.
Goga!
Goga! What are you doing?
Goga!
You’ll wake up the dead,
and you know we don’t have enough room.
I’m not letting anyone take it,
you hear?
It’s all that’s left!
Who’s gonna take it? You’ll be gone soon anyway.
You think...
... it's gonna be different now?
They've been feeding us the same crap for 30 years!
I know, Goga, I know, but...
They don't give a shit about us!
No, they don't give a shit!
I’m gonna die in this goddamn shit-hole.
Goga...
Take a break, stop for a bit.
Goga.
Just give it a rest, will you?
Let's go.

You got that, Masha?
They gave us an apartment, Nana.
Who told you this?
No Nana, it’s real this time, look.
Look, it's all right here.
We've been hearing the same thing for 30 years.
Nana, I know, I stopped believing them 10 years ago.
But now it's real.
Not 10, 30 years!!!
And every time they said "just wait a bit longer"
and we waited like fools.
You don't think I know this?
But...
We never got it in writing before.
Nana, listen, look!
It's signed, Nana.
By the government.
Oh great, the government.
You still believe them?
Signature or no signature, it's still lies.
Fine, stay here, you can have your slum all to yourself!
Hello, Nana.
Hi, how are things?
There’s a problem with the water again... In the bathroom...
What floor?
Third.
Left or right?
The first one on the left.
Whose left? That doesn’t mean anything.
You know, in the corner, right?
The one closest to my place.
Ah yes, I see.
I’ll get Irakli to go up and have look.
Good, good.
- Can I grab a smoke? - Sure
Don't worry, we'll have a look.
Thanks.
"Don't worry", easy for you to say.
Bye Giorgi.
Irakli?
Givi! More plumbing problems on three, you hear about it?
Problems...
You put in water, you get water problems.
You put in electricity, you get electricity problems.
Always more problems.
Sometimes I think I’d rather live in a tent.
Well, it’s not my business anymore. I finally got a break.
What do you mean?
Yeah, they gave us an apartment, finally.
After all this time!
Right? I can’t believe it.
Nana must be thrilled.
Nana...
I don’t think Nana wants to go.
She's driving me crazy.
What are you saying?
Then go, let her stay if she wants to stay.
What are you talking about?
She's my wife, I’m not leaving her. She's everything to me...
But if you don't take it...
They only give you 17,000 lari.
So you better take the apartment.
You still have that wrench?
Yeah, you know where it is.
I still don't get why you don’t want to go.
It's far.
Batumi’s not that far
At least you’ll be close to the sea again...
When was the last time you saw it?
What am I supposed to do in Batumi?
I don’t know anyone there, I’m too old to start over again...
It's not like you have a job here either.
I have things to do here.
Someone needs to take care of this place.
I've been doing it for 15 years.
Oh don’t worry about that, it’s not your problem, it never was.
Everyone can take care of themselves.
It's not like you're getting paid for it.
It is my job, people need me here, the sanatorium needs me.
The whole place would fall apart without me.
Wouldn't it?
I guess so.
Come, let's get you some tea.
Let's go to my place.
I don't want any tea...
This is what I mean.
What good is a new apartment if there’s no one coming over for tea?
Here you go, dear.
Without you, and Sopho and Tina...
I don't know...
And Gvantsa?
Poor child, you see how hard it is with her parents in Tbilisi.
Pretty crazy when you think about it...
Waiting in here for 30 years,
and nothing ever happened...
Nothing they promised us.
And now, finally, it's happening and you don't want to go?
Why not?
I don't know...
I think I’m scared...
Here we have nothing,
nothing ever works, we'll probably end up buried under the ruins...
I don't understand...
But...
Here I know who I am,
But there? Who am I? Who am I supposed to be?
What am I supposed to do?
I just don’t know...
Cover it!
Make it stop!
What's going on?
My God, you idiots, what have you done?!
What's wrong this time?
Guys...
The pipe! What did you do to the pipe!
You made a goddamn tsunami out of it!
Ira...
I tried to fix it
I did what I could...
But it busted anyway, what was I supposed to do?
Are you trying to make sure we never have water ever again?
Go see Shota and ask him if he has any PVC piping lying around...
Shota?
Yes, Shota.
Come on, Zaza!
Okay.
Change your clothes first! You can’t help if you freeze to death!
Once upon a time, there were two little goats.
They came to a bridge and both wanted to cross.
Neither of them wanted to retreat.
They began to quarrel.
"Let me pass", said one.
"No, you let me pass" said the other.
They pushed, and they shoved,
they fell in the river and the mud.
The next morning,
the two goats return to the bridge at the same time.
They look at each other from across the bridge
One of the goats runs across the bridge,
but this time, the other decides to wait,
and let the first one pass,
Now both goats can continue on their way.
Did you fix the water thing?
No. I mean sort of.
Those idiots tried fixing a leak and busted the whole goddamn pipe.
I'll put in a new one tomorrow, if I can get a replacement.
Why didn’t they just ask you in the first place?
Beats me.
I mean, it’s not really my job, I’m not a plumber.
And you’re not a carpenter or an electrician either...
But you've been fixing things for as long as I can remember
It’s just something to do.
They’re not my pipes, Nana.
None of this is mine.
We have to leave, Nana, it’s our last chance.
Chance for what?
You think moving to Batumi is going to change anything?
You never finished school, what are you going to do?
Scrub toilets?
Anything is better than this!
I’m not leaving! I don't want to, I’m not going!
Nana, why are you lying to yourself?
So you can keep pretending people need you?
Irakli...
Like you’re some kind of building manager?
Stop.
No one cares what you say!
It's all just make-believe!
No one gives a crap about you!
Gvantsa, what did I tell you?
Why didn't you bring the cow outside?
You see what happened? Someone could have been killed!
Let's go.
What is it?
What did you want to tell me?
Is anything wrong?
What?
I got one too.
One what?
A flat, in Batumi.
Even you? You’re going to leave me here?
No, what are you saying, we can both go.
I’m not going, I told you, I don't want to!
Why not? Why do you need to stay here? What's in it for you?
Nana...
Listen...
Let's go.
We'll be there together.
When are you leaving?
As soon as possible.
I already started packing.
Okay then.
Irakli!
You have another letter from the ministry.
If it’s another apartment, you can pass it over to me, okay?
I thought you wanted to live in a tent?
What is it?
Finished packing?
It’s for you...
I know how much you like it.
- No, I can't, it’s your mother’s, I... - Please
I really want you to have it.
Keep it for now, you can give it to me later...
as a housewarming gift, okay?
Does Irakli know yet?
No, not yet.
- I'll come help you pack later - Sure
Irakli, you're here.
Good.
I've been thinking...
Irakli.
You're right.
We should go.
Irakli...
Irakli, what is it?
What's wrong?
Irakli...
