- Summary:
- Aprili: A critique of materialism, the film is about a young couple who live in a rundown empty apartment. Their love is so strong that it makes the water flow and the electricity work, but when they start purchasing furniture and knickknacks, they fight and grow apart.
- Giorgobistve: A young idealist takes a job at a local state run winery only to discover and become disillusioned by the corruption of the Soviet state.
- Iko shashvi mgalobeli: Guy Agladze resides in a large city and plays in an orchestra. Guy has a number of friends and acquaintances. His days are hectic and busy. He has to manage too much and he is always late. His time, his energy, his talents evaporate in the hassle of the day and among the little things to be done. Guy dies in an accident without having managed to note down the music that his soul was playing in the rare moments of his solitude.
- Pastorali: The film tells the story of a group of well-trained musicians from a string quartet who spend the summer rehearsing in a small village in Georgia. Though they rehearse and bicker among themselves, the four become increasingly involved in local controversies and in the lives of the villagers.
