DVD:
What to do with all this love

“A deeply human film – full of warmth and tenderness.” (Deutscher Kamerapreis) – Now available on DVD and as Video on Demand.

Georgia: A multi-ethnic state in the Caucasus, hovering between the past and the future. HIgh upon a hill, the Paliashvili Music School for gifted children looks out over Tbilisi. The plaster is crumbling, hardly any instrument can be tuned, and many teachers are so old they could be the pupils’ great-grandparents. While they seek that spark of inspiration, the headmaster fights for a new building and the students pursue their calling in life.

Those who are allowed to step through the battered main entrance after the strict entrance examination do so with pride because former Paliashvili students regularly conquer the world’s stages. The children dream of such a success, their parents all the more so. It is not uncommon for entire families to move from remote regions to the capital to make their children’s musical education possible.

“What to do with all this love” is a film about a place lost in time and threatening disappearance, about growing up and aging, about great dreams and the art of improvisation.
