ღიმილიანი საქართველო

What are the costs of the half-truths that politicians tell? In 2012, Georgian president Mikheil Saak＇ashvili, known as Misha, wants to literally make the nation smile again. In the run-up to the elections, the party in power promises subsidized dental care for the less well-off, and so state doctors begin to extract decayed teeth, ensuring quick replacements. However, the president loses the election and the program is abandoned. Through touching interviews with those who suffered the consequences of this campaign, Smiling Georgia tells the story of the deceptions of political power, profoundly distant from the delicacy of the hopes and naivety of ordinary people.
