Ever Since I Knew Myself
Maka Gogaladze
Georgia - 2024 - 85 min
synopsis
As a child, Maka Gogaladze was forced to take piano lessons that brought her to tears. Faced with this today, her mother responds with the argument that it was necessary to learn the discipline. Drawing on her personal experience, the filmmaker observes with caustic humor the mechanisms of bringing an entire society, here Georgian, into tune through education.
