Tina, a young woman who has lost her way in life, rents a room from the vibrant Megi, thanks to whom she gradually starts to discover what it’s like to be free and to be able to make her own decisions without being reliant on men… Self-assured in its directorial style, this authentic film portrays millennials in contemporary Tbilisi and points to the influence of patriarchal thinking on Georgian society.

The film is about Mamia (father) and Martha (mother), who kicked their transgender child Levan (Ella) out of home at an early age. They hadn’t seen their kid for ten years. After ten years their child is murdered in town. Mamia brings their kid’s corpse back to the village where he and Martha live. The return of their dead kid opens old wounds and they start thinking whether the decision of kicking their kid out was right – or should they have accepted him the way he was?
