Synopsis

The subway system in Tbilisi, Georgia, operates as one of the shortest in the world. It features limited passengers and lacks advertising. Passengers experience a quiet ride through an underground space that reflects a retro-futuristic design. The entire system offers a contrast to the crowded subways found in larger cities. The film runs for 17 minutes and presents the unique character of the Tbilisi metro.
