FULL CIRCLE revolves around a psychological experiment: human beings are unable to differentiate between facial expressions for contradistinctive emotions like love and hate when the accompanying verbal expressions are inaudible. Expression is at least the speciality of aging actress Manana, who doesn't get offered roles any more. The former star's path crosses with those of a host of other individuals with their own social and moral dilemmas to solve. Some of them work themselves out in the Perestroika era tumult, but a lot of them don't. At 1987's Tokyo International Film Festival, Gobogeridze received the Award for Best Director for her film, presented by jury president Gregory Peck.
