Drawn entirely from video recordings of a Georgian parliamentary session on June 10, 1993, when Eduard Shevardnadze was head of state, the film follows the debate over replacing the Russian ruble with Georgia’s first national currency. In the damaged footage, the word “disaster” echoes through the chamber, offering a raw look at a moment of nation-building and the chaotic foundation of contemporary Georgia. Questions of independence, responsibility, and inevitability arise as the economic crises of the day, and those still to come, are revealed. On screen, the figures who would shape the nation’s future emerge, their legacies defined by aspiration, corruption, and crime.
