Chemi Bednieri Ojakhi

As family and friends gather in a Tbilisi apartment to celebrate her 52nd birthday, Manana calmly packs a suitcase and, to her guests' bewilderment, announces she's leaving. A literature professor and wife of 30 years, she's shared a three-bedroom flat with her husband, Soso; her parents; two grown children; and son-in-law. And she's had enough. Moving to a new apartment, she starts afresh, and has never been happier. Attempting to avoid the family drama that follows her, she nonetheless forms a surprising new attachment to a man she meets in secret Soso. (Sundance Film Festival)
