Based on the autobiographical novel by Akaki Tsereteli “The Experienced”. The film of one of the most gifted students of the workshop of S. Eisenstein in VGIK (issue 1938) is a work very extraordinary and far from the canons of the historical-biographical film. K. Pipinashvili strives to combine episodes of the biography of the great Georgian writer and poet with episodes from his works, sometimes naively, but with a large share of creative imagination. In a sense, it may be an early attempt at ‘poetic cinema’. - E. Margolith V. Shmyrov (Extracted Cinema). 1924-1953' M. "Double-D" 1995.

This musical is based on old Georgian vaudevilles and plays. The early 20th century. Old Tiflis is in confusion and turmoil. A mysterious fairy is helping the poor Pavle’s family: real wood is burning in his old, neglected fireplace, wherein a pot with meat would suddenly appear. The good fairy is impersonated by laundress Vardo who helps not only the poor Pavle, but other families in this quarter as well. Vardo is known to many people in the town, but no one ever suspected that she was capable of performing miracles. The film’s colorful folk melodies, merry songs and fiery dances leave no viewer indifferent. Starring in the leading role is the great Georgian actress Sofiko Chiaureli. close
