In the autumn of 1986, after censoring the film "Repentance," Gorbachev confided this secret to three interviewers from the Italian Communist Party: There were several scenes in the film that he watched with tears in his eyes. He said a scene in the film - the secret police knocking on an innocent musician's door to throw him in jail without any justifiable reason - reminded him of what his grandmother had told him about the day his grandfather was arrested Story of the night. Later, Gorbachev said to his assistant: "I must make more copies so that everyone in the country can watch this film." This is the first film to ruthlessly expose Stalin's reign of terror .

8/10. Modernist tactics abound: murky like Inquisition water dungeons and imprisoned carts, names of those arrested on log piles for relatives to find, dissidents showing indifference to inauguration (girls blow bubbles while fathers close windows), The grandfather was afraid of the exposure of history and wanted to shoot the sun outside the fence. The paintings were piled up with looted paintings. The fish bones left by his father symbolized the legacy of the autocratic spirit.

Ablaze is one of the representatives of contemporary "poetry cinema". His works always show a stunning beauty. Laughter and tears, joy and sorrow, grotesque and tragedy, reality and fantasy are all intertwined in the atmosphere of folk narrative poetry deeply connected with Georgian national culture.

Ketevan Barateli: On behalf of everyone who was unjustly punished, I demand that Varlam Aravidze be dug up from his grave by his own relatives.
Guliko: I protest! All you've heard here is a lie and slander!
Ketevan Barateli: Slander? Prove that it's a slander!
Prosecutor: You mean that the deceased should not be buried?
Ketevan Barateli: No, you must not bury him! Let the carrion crows tear him to pieces! Burying him means forgiving him, shutting our eyes to everything he had perpetrated. I publicly declare once again: If you don't dig him up, I will get him, I will not leave him in peace!

Abel Aravidze as an adult: Varlam was always guided by the interests of society. But sometimes he had to act against his will.
Tornike: And if he were ordered to destroy the world, would he have done it?
Abel Aravidze as an adult: You know what? Your grandfather never killed anyone with his own hands! And you did fire at a human being! What kind of morals you're talking of?
Tornike: I didn't know who I was firing at.
Abel Aravidze as an adult: What difference does it make? You did fire at a human!
Tornike: Yes, I did... And it makes our guilt even worse.
Abel Aravidze as an adult: Whose guilt?
Tornike: Grandfather's, mine, and yours.
Abel Aravidze as an adult: What do you blame me for?
Tornike: For justifying grandfather and for following in his steps. You're a worse murderer than me, because you don't pity that woman.
Abel Aravidze as an adult: Why should I pity her? Are you out of your mind?
Tornike: You'd rather strangle her than ask her forgiveness.
Abel Aravidze as an adult: I couldn't imagine that you were such an idiot! She digs up my father from his grave, and I'm supposed to apologize? Yes, I will strangle her, and you too, if you don't come to your senses. I shall not let her desecrate the deceased!
Tornike: I hate you. I hate you!
