When we are young we want to be adventurous, we want to explore the world, see new places, try to live differently for once and be far from our home. Still, we'll always be attached to this our home regardless of it being a place, a feeling or a person. The series Country Roads tells a story about Georgian youth, their desire to leave the country for some time, but always knowing that they want and will return to Mother Georgia. Some day. And it shows the rawness and the beauty of this country in it's landscape and in it's future.
