A Room Of My Own Chemi otakhi

Ioseb 'Soso' Bliadze / Georgia, Germany / 2022 / 107 min / Georgian

Portraying the life of millennials in contemporary Tbilisi, the self-assured, highly authentic film exposes the lasting influence of patriarchal thinking on a section of Georgian society.

Tina is a young woman who has lost her way in life. Unaccustomed to taking care of herself, she usually relies on her partners for support. In Tbilisi, Tina rents a room from the vibrant Megi. She now waits patiently for her boyfriend Beka to join her in Tbilisi. Things don’t go according to plan, however, and thanks to Megi, her complete opposite, Tina starts to discover what it’s like to be free and to be able to make her own decisions without being reliant on men…

“We always knew it’s not a love story. It’s about Tina, who is searching for herself and experimenting with her sexuality. /… / In countries like ours, the society tells women how they should have sex. Tina doesn’t know who she is, so she tries things. First with her husband, then her lover, then Megi. Our society is very judgmental, and these are our naked bodies on screen. But it was our choice, and it was important to do it. To me and Mariam, this sexual encounter felt like a manifesto.”

With disarming wit, the Dalai Lama reflects on balancing millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions with the contemporary values of our globalised society that now struggles to overcome violence and war while standing on the brink of environmental collapse. In this intimate heart-to-heart, the nearly 90-year-old Nobel Peace Laureate and the world’s greatest ambassador for compassion brings a timely message of hope. Wisdom of Happiness blends the Dalai Lama’s inspirational words with stirring images of our planet and newly unearthed archival footage.
