About
For the first ever collaboration between Visa, Turkish Airlines, and TBC Bank, we brought to life the real story of Merab Ninidze, one of Georgia’s most celebrated actors. Drawing from his childhood in the Soviet era, when borders were strictly closed, the campaign features a scene from a Georgian Cannes Film Festival winning masterpiece about Soviet repression, once banned and later influential in shaping the country’s late 1980s freedom movement.
