Holy Electricity
Nika and Nodo, two crusaders in contemporary Tbilisi, smell a business opportunity when giant neon crucifixes appear around town. But selling their home-sized copies door-to-door turns out less successful than thought. Adding 'holy electricity' as an extra feature seems lucrative, but becomes a threat to Nika's and Nodo's business, and friendship.
