Film expert Ketevan Trapaidze led the film show. “The Tree of Wish” includes several psycho-philosophical metaphors for the perception of beauty, rage instinct, loneliness, struggle, sadness, and love. This film is a parable of being created in Georgia in 1976. It is the story of characters turned into acting masterpieces, and faces, along with the expression of identity, is a metaphor for the eternal proverb of humanity.
Allegories indicating the philosophical depth of Georgian cinema were created based on the stories of writer Giorgi Leonidze and directly became a characteristic of Georgian cinema. However, it’s not less important than the “Wishing Tree,” which today leaves us with much more space to contemplate many truths, with its sharp acting and metaphorical sayings.
