Les Tribulations de Mr Sartre et Mme de Beauvoir vers le Caucase
Sartre and De Beauvoir Tribulations to Caucasus
A filmed chronicle about the strange voyages made by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir in the Soviet Union, to Georgia and Armenia, during the summers of 1963-65. Based on Simone de Beauvoir's own account in "Tout compte fait," the film returns to these Caucasian sites, which have hardly changed in 40 years, even if these two Trans-Caucasian Republics have endured the collapse of the Soviet Union, wars and earthquakes. From Tiflis to Erevan and Vilnius, Alexander Topchyan, writer, Mzia Bakradzé, academic, Antanas Sutkus, photographer, describe these little-known escapades, censored by the Soviet media but closely monitored by the political police and firmly rooted in the local memory.
