    • Synopsis
    • Drawing Lots is an ensemble tale of subtly interlinked stories set in a close-knit neighbourhood of Georgia’s second city, Batumi. The lives of neighbours such as a talented and troubled aspiring rock star, petty criminals, a concert violinist, angsty and love-struck teenagers, betrayed lovers, fractured families and many others intertwine in various ways, some expected and familiar, some surprising and secret, some contentious, some passionate and forbidden, but always coloured by the underlying tribal magnetism of community.

      In this unassuming urban enclave, everybody is looking for something – money, treasure, friendship, success and, especially, love. But each quest is elusive in its own way, as these engaging characters learn one by one that desire is as changeable as a young man’s heart.

      The title refers to the central image of the neighbours playing a bingo-style game, their cacophonous and good-natured bickering exemplifying the community’s dynamics, and the game itself exemplifying the randomness of life, the fickleness of fate.
