25 Arrested After Fighting in Georgia's Dreamage Film

This film they didn't want to let show, tells the story of the due dancers who are in love with each other.

Protesters held slogans such as “Ruft Georgia” and “Turp” and tried to break into the cinema, but they were stopped by police. Some wore crosses and religious icons.

This is not just a movie. This is an insult to our faith, our traditions and all that is holy to us,” told Reuters Guram Damenia, who came in wearing a traditional Georgian costume.

The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May and has won awards at festivals worldwide.

But the wait has been mixed into the conservative Caucasus nation. The same gender relations remain mainly taboo in Georgia, where dance is honoured as part of the nation's heritage, Euronews writes.
