"It's good to live in the unobvious countries, because their boundaries hold bigger space, than geography can offer. They are the abysses of unknown, endless valleys of fantasies, wan horizons of imagination, fata morgana of sweet biases, which could not be captured by reality."

The Golden Fleece is the dream of Argonauts. The country is a myth. It's a legend that has a very thin line with the present. Historians prove that the routes of Argonauts lied on the territory of the modern Georgia - Sakartvelo, as Karvalebi named it. Georgians, the contemporaries of the ancient Greeks, settled on this land, which embraced mountains and the sea. This is the border where Europe meets Asia. It has deep roots and strong passion for European-like changes. This land has pride and warm welcoming at the same time. The people who live here speak ancient language and strive for globalization. This country has just survived the war.

This project is an experiment to catch the key direction of the past and future generations. Likely, this is more than just a call to a certain nation, as any other call to generations in between the past and the future.
