A Day Longer Than Night
Overview: This somber story of love lost forever is set against the backdrop of the changes that Communism brought to the state of Georgia in the former USSR after the 1917 Revolution. Eva and Archil are deeply in love and they pledge to be with each other always. After they marry, Archil dies suddenly and Eva is left alone and childless. Along comes the ruthless Spiridon who romances Eva and marries her - though his cold and cruel spirit break Eva's naturally buoyant self, until she sullenly eats alone, and avoids intimacy with her husband as much as possible. They adopt a daughter, who does not take sides between her glum mother and silent father. When the Communist cadres enter their village to promote the ideals of the October revolution, Eva starts to warm to her husband a little because he joins in that movement. Then her husband commits the fatal error of revealing a previous crime - an error that will later cause their grown daughter to question her parents' strange behavior.

Padeniye Kondora
Overview: Действие происходит в вымышленном государстве, у власти которого стоит военный диктатор (характер ландшафта, растительности, тип военной формы и используемого оружия — прямая аллюзия на Чили начала 1970-х годов). Диктатор, проделавший долгий путь от мясника до предводителя хунты, уже давно утратил доверие народа и постепенно теряет веру в себя. Он одинок. Его монологи о власти и собственной значимости перед одним из охранников Мануэлем адресованы самому себе. Мануэль, как и диктатор в прошлом, — выходец из небогатого сословия. Он верит диктатору, верит в возможность своей карьеры, ради которой совершает один безнравственный поступок за другим. Но когда военные теряют власть под напором народного восстания, также беспринципно и легко предаёт диктатора и убивает его.
