Is there such an interpretation of disagreements between generations in Georgian art, in particular, dramaturgy, cinema, as Gertrude Stein's search for the explanation of the creative realities and psychotypes of the "lost generation"? This is still controversial and will probably take decades but it is clear that more than (or already) 30 years have passed since the collapse of the Soviet system and the somewhat illusory vision of the "lost generation"

Even the most unusual forms of the illusion of mood characteristic of a feature film, obey the firm conditions of reality-regardless of the quality of what color and compositional experimentation we are talking about.

If the tradition of Georgian cinema repeats itself thematically and develops artistic-thematic interpretations interestingly, then this refers to the versions of man's search for himself most clearly and obviously; dysfunctionality, or adaptation and spiritual crisis that originate in the themes interpreted by the 1960s continue for decades.

Any social drama, based on the artistic interpretation of facts that have lost its function and undermine human dignity, can very easily turn into a tragedy - such is the special way of dealing with reality dictated by modern life and remained yet from the era of Italian neorealism, which invariably gives the cinema the opportunity to reach a tragic end. This ability of social drama is noteworthy as the latter has changed many times the range of attitudes towards values, and is one of the most important genre and artistic forms today, which can even see shocking reality from its dangerous, internal, unexpected side and present it to us.
