In a new documentary about Georgian migrants living in Berlin, shipping packages home is a sacred activity. Watch it here.
“I know the feeling,“ the director Ani Mrelashvili says, ”how it is when you receive this package and you open it and you see with how much love it was packed.”
In 2020, Ani Mrelashvili was in her first year at the Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg, in Potsdam, Germany, studying to become a director. She’d grown up in Tbilisi, Georgia, and moved to Germany after turning eighteen to join her brother and aunt, and to continue her studies in Berlin. The road from her country to Western Europe was, by that point, well trodden.
“This wrapping act is so important for them,” Mrelashvili said, of Maka’s customers, who want to insure their packages arrive intact. One man has secured his package—medicines for his mother, and some bottles of whiskey for good measure—in so much tape that Maka jokes with a smirk that she’ll be accused of cheating for the extra weight all the tape is adding.
