Madonna

Directing: Nino Gogua

Synopsis

57 years old Madonna is the only female public bus driver in Georgia. Once a famous Soviet tram driver, today she struggles against conventional rules of the traditional society which perceives her occupation as a “man’s job”. She refuses to give up driving and demands to be accepted as a woman. Meanwhile, after waiting for Government's attention for 15 years in vain, Madonna begins to renovate her little apartment with her own hands. In a little flat inside the former tram administrative building which is inhabited by families of her ex-colleagues, Madonna tries to build a peaceful home to share with her old mother. She continues to fight for her identity and happiness as a woman who defies gender expectations.
