It is 1930. A bitterly crying 2-year-old child is seeing her mother off on her way to a film shooting. An elderly man turns to the mother and asks her where she was going and whether it was worth the child’s tears. The film is an attempt to answer this question. The woman leaving for film shooting is Nutsa Gogoberidze – the first female filmmaker in Georgia and one amongst the first in the Soviet Union. The 2-year-old child is me — Lana Gogoberidze. In the 30s, Nutsa shot two films that were immediately banned by Soviet censorship. In 1937, during the times of Great Terror, she was arrested and exiled for 10 years. Her daughter, Lana Gogoberidze, relates their mutual story that reflects the horrible cataclysms of the epoch. And this is the answer of the author to the question posed in the prologue: whether the mother ́s departure was worth the child’s tears, as she was leaving to create something that would return the human being back to life and even dry up the tears of a child.
