der mit seiner siebenköpfigen Familie das Fest aller Feste feiert:

Easter in the Caucasus
Philosophy / Religion, People / Society
Pink cherry blossoms dance gently in the sunlight, offset against a
gloomy church ruin – it is springtime in Tiflis, capital city of
Georgia. This is where Georgi Kobachidze lives. The young teacher and
his family of seven are celebrating the festival of all festivals:
Easter. For the Kobachidze family, this is the high point of the year,
as it is for all the faithful in Georgia. Georgi’s daily commute between
the small village, Kareli, where he and his family live and the capital
city, Tiflis, where he works, takes him along a route overlooked by the
snow-covered peaks of the Caucasus Mountains and lined with fresh green
meadows. And with willow branches lining all the streets on Palm
Sunday, it would be easy to forget for a moment that a bloody war was
waged here just a few years ago. What is life like today for the
Georgian people? What are their fears and dreams and how are they coping
with everyday life? We visit the longest road-side meat market in the
world and sample the home-made Georgian red wine. Everywhere you feel
that the people at the feet of the mighty Caucasus are searching for
their identity. We join with the people of Georgia as they celebrate
Easter, enjoying the picturesque mountains, the deep bass sounds of
Georgian male voice choirs and the little tales of every day life, which
are funny and melancholic at the same time.
