1934 • Georgia (TSFSR, USSR) • 18’
National Premiere
By screening a film within the film, Vakhtang Shvelidze publicises the official health campaign, stressing the issue of hygiene, health care and even physical and social distancing… It is up to the new generations to re-educate a community used to save water and soap. Such switch-over to cleanliness also entails a new order, which interestingly seems to anticipate the American suburban family ideal.
