Otar Iosseliani: Farewell, Home Sweet Home [Adieu, plancher des vaches!] [OmeU] FR, CH, IT, 1999, R: Otar Iosseliani mit Nico Tarielashvili, Lily Lavina, Philippe Bas, 118 Min

Nicolas is 19 and trying to escape the golden cage of his rich family. He sneaks away from his glamorous country home to meet tramps and young petty criminals in Paris. He falls in love with Paulette, the daughter of a bistro owner, but she is more interested in Gaston who seems more promising from a social point of view... "The film announces itself as a parable of the feeling of dissatisfaction that inhabits us. Practically as soon as we are born we are forced to live in a shell and to find another space, another dimension of life which surely exists somewhere. If one is rich, one thinks the poor are happy, without a care and surrounded by real friends. If one is poor, one imagines the life of the rich as wonderful." (Otar Iosseliani)
