“After the war the country collapsed, nothing was working and I returned to the village.”

An old man right in front of the camera squinting in the sun.

Revaz knows the local stories of Svans. He loves to sit on the grass with the oxen and tell those stories. About his life in Svaneti he uses a common Georgian common phrase: “I live here and work as I am able to. (I got married and I had children.)”

Revaz is a farmer from Latali.

We are trying to prevent that and preserve the regions unique way of life.
