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.
