Kika Sulava is a film director living in North Hollywood.

He rents a small apartment with his two brothers.

There are lots of interesting things in his apartment.

This place he calls a “musical corner”. Obviously he likes to play guitar. Music is a universal art that everyone understands and likes. He doesn’t have appropriate table to put musical equipment, so he uses a box instead of a table.

This place he calls a “sport’s corner”. He used to be a Karate trainer in his country. He got a certificate his good work as a trainer. He is also soccer fan, that’s why he has a AC.Milan’s scarf. He thinks that sport is also universal.

This is a place where he does his classes and edits his movies. He also watch television shows, movies and reads news using his computer.

Here he puts everything he needs for his work. Books, pens, and notebooks. He also has lots of unimportant things, such as Bart Simpson, Academy Award’s fake statue, used scantrons, and broken DVD’s.

He also likes to draw. He always draws memories from his birthplace. These paintings are very important for him because he is able to feel connected to his birthplace.

This is a place where he and his brothers gather every evening and have dinner. It is very important for them to have dinner together because they can give and ask advises from each other. So, this is very important place for them.

This place he calls a “Smoke area”. He smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day. The balcony is his favorite place in apartment because he can smoke, relax and think at the same time.

This is the most important corner in his apartment. He is very religious person. He prays every day before he goes to bed. He prays in front of the cross because he is a Christian. I noticed very interesting thing on the wall. He uses the mirror when he prays. He looks in the mirror and confesses to himself.

The last thing is his and his brother’s bed. They sleep by each other. And they have a picture of Jesus Christ on the wall in the middle of their beds. He goes to bed with prayer, and wakes up in the morning with a prayer.
