From The Series – Four rooms

Florence, Italy 2012
The documentary project “Four rooms” is about an immigrant
women who live in Italy. The project is realized
at home where live only Georgian immigrant women.
Most of them cannot go outside, because they do not
have permission to leave the place. Some of them
get a job and the other take her place. They stay at
home, while they get hired. Every Thursday immigrant
guests visit them; they are having good time with their
friends. This is a weekend. They’re still talking about
returning to Georgia. However, they hope, they get
employed and after a while they return to Georgia.
The aim of my project is to discover their daily lives.
