Parallel Movements

Exile, survival, and the search for home.

Overview

The film tells the story of four different protagonists whose experiences ultimately merge into one narrative. Georgians who emigrated to France fight tirelessly for survival. One of the world’s most touristic cities becomes both a refuge and a last hope for many emigrants. The film uncovers corners of Paris that seem hidden within a city better known for its tourist attractions. Parallel Movements is a Georgia that exists beyond its borders. It resonates with the story of every Georgian who has already left, is leaving now, or will leave the country in the future.
