The Watchmaker
A series of high-profile murders, a captured criminal, awaiting a final verdict—this is the subject of the documentary film that Irakli is working on. The production team is actively investigating the facts, meeting with people connected to the suspect, and even speaking with the detainee, who is held in the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ detention center. The deeper the investigation goes, the more sharply society’s role in perpetuating injustice and the destruction of the free spirit comes into focus.
