Lift Lady
25 mins
When Mzia was younger, and Georgia had just gained independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union, she fought as a sniper against Russian aggression in Abkhasia. Now in the autumn of her life, she manages an elevator in a Brutalist-style apartment block in Tbilisi. The elevator is there to serve the residents, but others can use it to access a labyrinthine construction and skybridge leading to a higher part of the neighborhood.
