The Soviet Union has collapsed. Civil and ethnic wars have broken out in Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, three republics in the Caucasus. The post-Soviet Caucasus have turned into one large conflict zone. Two radically different people with different ideals, problems, and goals are united by the conflict zone. Gogliko, a Tbilisi street boy, and Spartak, a Sukhumi sniper, are forced to solve problems of the street and problems of the state together. For one, the goal is to get back the money he lost gambling; for the other, it is to carry out a general's absurd military mission. In spite of it all, their paths cross and their lives are changed forever.

Soldiers in cars drive around the city day and night, erasing or covering with paint any drawing on the wall, even one that does not have political overtones. But for two “spontaneous protestors” - a writer who is refused to be published, and a young artist-photographer, whose art is also now not in honor, a kind of exchange of painted messages becomes the meaning of their existence in an era that seems to be not conducive to creativity.

Seven directors develop their own scripts and come to Estonia to make their films with local cast and crew. Libertade is a feature length film project, comprising of seven short films directed by renowned film-makers from Georgia, Russia, Switzerland, Estonia and France. They all take their unique look into questions about our roots and identity, our choices and our search for freedom and its consequences. —Katerina Monastyrskaya
