Etnography illustrated by Tbilisi's beauty's. The cultural map seen through the Georgian Yellow Pages. Changing society made visible by the absence of Soviet buildings and their West-European replacements. Red and white fencing, examplary for this complete and radical make-over.

| A long long time ago in India, a very rich and powerful maharadja built the most beautiful palace. He ordered his men to travel to Europe and bring back the most beautiful woman for his Harem. The regiment traveled from country to country and selected the most astonoshing beauties. In Georgia, returning to India, the karavaan received the unfortunate news that the prince had died, the woman where freed, and that is why Georgian woman are the most beautiful on earth.
