The film consists of a series of 10 short films written and directed by natives of Georgia, and take on a personal narrative about the republic's capital city. Malcolm McDowell and Ron Perlman both feature. McDowell's vignette centers on an actor who reluctantly agrees to a one-month shoot in Tbilisi and develops a love affair with the city. Perlman's short features him as a nameless American motorcyclist who rides through Tbilisi's remote areas with a woman named Freedom.

We were drinking wine outside Fabrika, an old Soviet fabric factory now converted into a multi-use center with bars, restaurants, co-working spaces, shops, artist studios, and a hostel. Mako was a Georgian guiding a mutual journalist friend on assignment.

I had been in Georgia for only a few days. When I left London for a trip to Azerbaijan in June, I added nearby Georgia to the itinerary as an afterthought. Friends spoke highly of the country and, since I was already going to be nearby, I thought why not kill two birds with one stone.

Instead, I found a beautifully preserved Old Town with cobblestone streets and stunning buildings with ornate balconies; lots of spacious parks, wide streets, eclectic artist spaces, and funky cafs; and modern and sometimes futuristic architecture. It was a lot more like Europe than I had anticipated.

I spent my first day wandering the old town. I gazed at the Metekhi Church with its giant equestrian statue of King Vakhtang Gorgasali overlooking the Mtkvari River. This is where the king built his palace when he made Tbilisi his capital in the fifth century. (Legend has it that he founded Tbilisi while hunting and discovered the sulfur baths, but a city existed here long before he came along! He just revived it.) The simple, domed-shaped brick building is popular with locals, as legend says the fifth-century martyr St. Shushanik was buried here.

From there it was up to the Narikala Fortress, which dominates the skyline. Dating back to the fourth century, it was once a Persian citadel. Most of the walls were built in the eighth century, but in 1827 an explosion of Russian ammunition stored there wrecked the whole thing. The cliffs the ruins are on offer the best views of the entire city. You can see for miles, which is probably why the site was chosen for the citadel. A cable car connects it with Rike Park on the other side of the Mtkvari River.

And everyone loves the feeling of returning home.

We woke up from a food coma and strolled without aim around the incredible city of Tbilisi. It is a dream of a city with such a diversity in appearance pulsing through it. In the morning we walked down David Agmashenebeli Avenue, known for its 19th century classical architecture and wide boulevard - like a toned down Champs-lyses. We devoured local pastries and more Georgian food in no particular order. We tested out the metro, known for being particularly deep, and found the silence of the people in the carts, paired with the lack of advertising anywhere, a huge contrast to Shanghai.

The flea market on Saturdays, known as the Dry Bridge Market, is overflowing with old antiques, jewelry, and lots of nostalgic memorabilia from a Soviet-era. Despite the incredible Russian and Georgian typewriters and the gas masks, we only window shopped, but loved watching locals and tourists bargain it out for the best deals.

Another random restaurant encounter, but one that went down in history in my book, was during the evening of our final night in Tbilisi. After walking down David Agmashenebeli Avenue again, we spotted a cute restaurant called Barbarestan from across the street and decided to check it out. The food is a pimped up take of Georgian food, from a recipe book of 19th century duchess Barbara Jorjadze. While the influence is from two centuries ago, the food feels surprisingly modern from mouthwatering dips, to khachipuri, to roasted duck and lamb. Impressively enough, the family that runs the place also has ten children. The place was so homey and tasty, we ended up back there on our last night before flying out of Tbilisi. Completely satisfied, we wandered back to our apartment and the next morning left to explore other parts of Georgia.

This beautiful pre-wedding shoot by Paris wedding photographer CHYMO & MORE is quite a special one for me to feature. Georgia is one of those countries that has my heart. I've visited three times now and I've had the most special experiences there with the warmest of people. And I've visited all the spots in this shoot which has me reminiscing on my travels there.

Chymo tells us, "This was the first time I visited Georgia. I found the capital Tbilisi to be filled with hopelessly romantic historical houses and courtyards. Talking with the young locals I noticed how positive they were and how they could affect their own and the country's future. This was the perfect backdrop for our adventurous and romantic couple, Shuning & Dongjun. We started the morning at the old Turkish bathhouses with Tbilisi's historical center in the background, while they blissfully danced on top of the roof. At one of the hidden gardens in the historical centre which was filled with lush greens, the couple sat on a rustic bench to take in the city and its distinctly shaped Orthodox churches.

In the afternoon, the couple went on to a vintage cafe called Linville to enjoy some Georgian wine. The interior there is absolutely stunning: the staff explained that this kind of interior style is how it used to be in the old Georgian times. They capped the night off with another drink on a rooftop bar watching the sun sink behind the horizon of this magical city.

The next day we took a car and drove to the majestic Caucasus mountains, stopping along the way spontaneously for photos. When we finally reached the destination of Kazbegi, we gasped as we saw the Orthodox Gergeti Trinity Church with the majestic Caucasus mountains in the background. Dongjun went on his knees and proposed his love to Shuning with the church as a backdrop. This setting allowed for so many romantic moments as the sun started to set and the colours of the mountains started to change.

The bride-to-be Shuning shared her most memorable moments: "While we were driving from Tbilisi to Kazbegi, Chymo & Ken found an amazing spot which is exactly what we had in mind for a "grand" shot. So we decided to stop the car on the side of the road and changed into my wedding gown in the car. When I was done with the outfit, Chymo has already foraged some fresh flowers and made me a lovely bouquet. We shot some of our favourite photos at this spot. The great Caucasus mountains behind us, the veil flowing wildly in the wind, the locals driving by whistling and clapping with big smiles, All of these memories are still so vivid 6 months later. We felt completely blessed by the mountains and the wonderful nature."

A big thank you to Paris wedding photographer CHYMO & MORE for sharing this beautiful Georgian pre-wedding shoot with us. Based in The Netherlands, Chymo is a fine art wedding & editorial photographer who tells stories through organic, delicate, romantic and emotive photographs. "My approach to photography is a mix of honest documentation and fine portraiture. Natural and light-filled images are my signature, while preserving authentic emotion, timeless simplicity, and organic beauty." Constantly travelling the world, Chymo documents weddings wherever you are! You can see more of her portfolio in our vendor guide.

To reach this remote church, you either need to hike a very steep mountain or hire a very talented driver with a four-wheel-drive car. Three devout and humble monks welcome their few daily visitors. Snow flurries from neighboring hills whip through the air. There are no sounds except for the howling wind. Tsminda Sameda Church is truly as close to heaven as you can get while still being on the ground.

The next wine we sampled was much different. From the closing of his eyes and the dipping of his nose deeper into the glass, I knew my husband and I were both very impressed. Bright, crisp, and full of white fruit and melon flavors, it was a stellar wine.

Coming from a culture where shots tend to be a part of bachelorette parties and other such debaucheries, I was surprised God was making an appearance. But I tentatively raised my glass, tried my best to thank my Higher Power, and knocked back my first warming (and surprisingly smooth) shot of Georgian vodka.

Over the course of an hour, Levan led us through a heartfelt, soulful collection of toasts that honored the love of our parents, the safety and security of our homes, the support of our life partners, the protective touch of our unseen guardian angels and many more.

As we approached the front gate, the officers seemed to take two steps toward us. I made eye contact with the closest one. I pointed at myself, and I pointed at the gate. With one slow affirmative nod, he allowed us to approach. 152ee80cbc
