Synopsis
As World Cup fever hangs in the air, LIsa, a shy pharmacist, and Giorgi, an equally reticent soccer player, meet cute. But after Lisa is bewitched by the “evil eye,” she and Giorgi wake to find themselves physically transformed and unrecognizable to one another. No longer skilled at their professions, they both take low-paying jobs while pining for one another, until fate intervenes. Shot partially on saturated 16mm, this off-kilter romance—a standout at this year’s Berlin Film Festival—renders the Georgian town of Kuitasi with vibrancy, while deadpan voiceover narration adds another layer of irresistible strangeness to the proceedings. A thoroughly original and delightfully winsome absurdist fable.
