Trailer
Vartsikhe Patriotic Camp is one out of those camps where teenagers spend summer in Georgia. Out of half humorous 10 commandments here the first one reads: The leader is always right. Patriotism is the ideology preached in the camps and every day the leader reminds to teenagers split in squads: Glory to Georgia! It’s the President of Georgia who initiated these camps and kids are told to appreciate that.
