Director’s statement
It is generally accepted that women in the Caucasus are always modest, quiet, completely devoted to their housework; they seem not to attract any attention. However, in the 21st century, not all girls are ready to follow the established tradition. Such girls are often deemed to be the “wrong" kind, just because they chose a different lifestyle. I decided to raise this issue in my film because I want to help women feel free even in such traditional cultures.
