My Happy Family - Nana Ekvtimishvili

A Georgian film set in Tbilisi.  Explores the patriarchal society and tangle of intergenerational family relations and roles in contemporary Georgian society.  Beautifully filmed with a great sound track (ambient noise, not music).  The mother, who rents an apartment by herself so she can live alone, is a great character.  The need for stillness and peace as the chaos of the world presses in from all sides.
