Ludmila's Apple Pie - Documentary
Film
I’ve spent all my summers since childhood with my grandmother, Ludmila, in the village of Chanchati in Georgia. I always begged her to bake me an apple pie, and she always did. One day, I decided to record her making it, thinking it’d be nice to try baking it myself someday.
As she baked, we ended up talking about the past - her memories of the Soviet Union, being a schoolgirl in Ukraine and how life was back then. The pie ended up taking the whole day to make, and the day itself turned into something more than just baking.
She’s my favorite person in the world, and I’m really happy I made this film with her.
