In the organizer's words:

Georgia 2023, feature film, 110 min.

Director: Elene Naveriani.

With: Eka Chavleishvili, Temiko Chinchinadze.

Language: OmU (Georgian with German subtitles).

Etero is approaching 50 and runs a small store in a remote Georgian village. She has never married out of conviction, always content with herself and her unattached, quiet life. Although she is often met with condescension and ridicule in the village, Etero loves her freedom unwaveringly. But then an accident awakens a longing in her that she had never felt before. Unexpectedly, she falls passionately in love and is suddenly faced with the decision of whether to enter into a relationship or hold on to her independence.

Based on the novel by Tamta Melashvili, who is considered the literary voice of Georgia's younger generation, the film uses atmospheric images and colors to tell of the sensual self-determination of defying traditional role models in the midst of a patriarchally dominated society. Lead actress Eka Chavleishvili embodies her character superbly.
