Set in late Soviet/early post-Soviet times (with many deliberate anachronisms implying the genre of universal parable), Chantrapas tells the story of a young Georgian film director Nicolas (Dato Tarielashvili), who finds himself in conflict with Communist censors and studio executives and, in search of artistic freedom, decides to emigrate to France.
