City of the Sun
In the past, up to fifty percent of the world's manganese, a crucial metal, was extracted in Chiatura, Georgia. It resembles a post-apocalyptic ghost town at now. Mzis qalaqi depicts a handful of the remaining inhabitants. To supplement his income as a music instructor, Zurab dismantles dilapidated concrete structures and sells the iron girders. Archil continues to work in the mine, but his true interest is the community theater group. Two teenage female athletes train stoically for the next Olympic Games despite being underweight.
