18 mins | Documentary, Music | Feb. 7, 1959

"Sapovnela" means "the flower that nobody can find." We present this film without subtitles (the voiceover was forced on us by the censorship in the counter-revolutionary times, but the film was banned anyway due to its ending). This was my first attempt at combining music and colors. Also, this is a story about the old florist Mikhail Mamulashvili who created wonderful compositions in his small garden. -- Otar Iosseliani
