Working with the Georgian polyphonic ensemble Rustavi and composer Anzor Erkomaishvili to resurrect the countryside’s derelict monasteries, Chkhaidze films eroded structures and faded biblical paintings caressed by sunlight, evoking the ambivalence of a besieged culture despite Georgia’s extant link to antiquity. Building on themes from his earlier work, Kolkhida—where Chkhaidze assigns the famed national myth of Jason’s quest to find the Golden Fleece in Colchis a negligible value in proportion to the land’s permanence—Chkhaidze here examines and historicizes Georgia’s identity as one of the earliest adopters of Christianity.

"Spring" is an agitational cartoon poster created in 1930. In the animated film on the subject of collective farming, the Soviet ideology and agitation-propaganda are conveyed with scarce artistic methods and posters characteristic of the epoch. In a propaganda animated film, the director creates a visual statistical picture of the collective farms of each region throughout Soviet Georgia with the constant rhetoric: "The kulak is the enemy of the poor man!" "Collectivization demands!" It is demonstrated by the example of a common peasant how difficult it is to work alone with the land, and the only "correct" way is to coexist with your own work and land through collective farming. The final frame of the animation is also an echo of the Soviet propaganda poster of the 1930s, with the text: "Citizen! What part do you take in the sowing campaign?!"
