Shengelaia’s most outright comedic, surrealistic, and fantastical film of the bunch, THE ECCENTRICS tells the story of Ertaoz, a free spirited young man living in the Georgian countryside. After the death of his equally free spirited father, and left without house and home, Ertaoz wanders to the nearby city where he becomes entangled in the goings on of the local adulteress Margalita, her ever-absent train conductor husband, her jail warden boyfriend, and her psychiatrist suitor.
When an encounter with the warden and the temptation of Margalita’s seduction lands him in jail, Ertaoz meets a new paternal (uncle-grandpa?) figure and friend in the eccentric Kristephore, a mathematician and inventor kept in an underground cell. Together they hatch a plan to escape via an unlikely flying machine inspired by Ertoaz’s pet hen. Hilarity ensues. Will their machine take flight? Will they make it out alive? Will Ertaoz win the heart of Margalita in the process?
