The Man from the Embassy

Herbert is a German embassy official in Tbilisi/Georgia doing his job by the numbers and living an empty existence, immersed in fantasy computer games. Even his Georgian lover Nana can’t bring back his zest for life.
It is an encounter and subsequent friendship with a young refugee girl, twelve-year-old Sashka, which enables him to rediscover laughter and a sense of responsibility for another person. Sashka lives, like most of her fellow-sufferers, desolate in a refugee camp outside Tbilisi.
But their close friendship brings suspicions, corruption and violence and finally Herbert is no longer able to do deal with the situation.
