The film’s central theme is the condescending attitude of a simple civil servant towards high-ranking government officials. The short film was based on Anton Chekhov’s “Death of a Civil Servant” story.
The film’s main character, a man, sneezes in a concert hall and puts a high-ranking official in an embarrassing situation. Despite apologizing, the main character feels a slavish fear that ultimately proves fatal to the man’s life.

Director's Statement
Hello, I am from Georgia. It is my first work as a director. The film was shot with zero budget, with the help and support of friends. I want to thank each of them, and I very much hope that the joint work of our friends will be seen by the general public and at festivals and evaluated by a qualified jury. It is very important for us.
