Paintings by Shalom Koboshvili reflect a journey through an unknown time and space that gradually faded away. At the end of the 19th century, the Jewish community in Akhaltsikhe was defined by its unique culture and traditions; Koboshvili’s masterpieces, which document the daily life of that community, are all that remain to show us how they lived. He created all his works during the last three years of his life when he worked as a guard at the Jewish museum - the same place where his works have been exhibited for many years. 

The Guardian of Memories is a story about an ordinary man whose childhood dream came true in old age when he became the first Jewish painter in Georgia.

With the start of the second Nagorno-Karabakh War, people in the country started to align into pro-war and anti-war camps. People who did not support the war were isolated and condemned by society. 

The film's director, Atanur Nabiyeva, faced a similar situation during the war and decided to document how the dynamic played out in her family. After some villages were bombed, relatives living on the frontline also temporarily settled in the Nabiyev family’s house. The author positioned herself as a neutral party to this war, and sought to explore bigger conflict-related questions such as "Who is right?", "Is it worth human death?", "Could there be another solution to the conflict?" Sometimes her journey to find answers caused arguments with her parents. Atanur refuses to accept her parents’ views unconditionally and her position has irritated them to the extent that she feels "alienated" in the family.
