Storyline

Khostovanank survives in Parajanov: The Last Spring in its original camera negative. It remained unfinished due to the death of Sergei Parajanov. Khostovanank was his favorite screenplay, which was written in the 1960s and was his film-memory of the childhood, student years, marriage, imprisonment and more as the fantasist Parajanov perceived it. Parajanov gifted the screenplay to Mikhail Vartanov, made a drawing on the cover and wrote: "The Confession will only be made by a director born in 1924 in Tiflis, Georgia." He predicted that he would not finish it.
