Out of the Way!
About Out of the Way!
In Tbilisi, Komsomol workers set out to rebuild the city and try to pull down a badly placed church. Religious citizens fight them for the building. Mikheil Chiaureli's silent comedy plays the clash as satire, and at times as absurdity. The Georgian title is Khabarda. The film survives.
