He has been at the head of the Georgian Orthodox Church for 37 years. Any believer can come to him for advice and prayer, and homeless people will find shelter right in the building of the patriarchy. He goes to prisons and arranges free meals for the destitute people. The third child in every Georgian family becomes the godson of Patriarch Elia II – he already has 14 thousand of them. His portraits adorn houses and offices, toasts are raised for his health at every Georgian feast. For modern Georgia, he has become a true biblical patriarch. The role played by Patriarch Elia in their lives is described in the film by famous cultural figures of Georgia – Nani Bregvadze, Nina Ananiashvili, Kakhi Kavsadze, Nodar Mgaloblishvili.
Great gratitude for Neofit Studio for the film.
