What is it like when your
family and society reject the person you feel you are? How to keep your
dignity when you decide to sacrifice everything and prostitution is the
only obvious means of survival? The documentary will explore the
life of a number of trans Georgians, capturing the challenges and hopes
of their community.
An old
woman's telling of her lifelong passion for cactuses leads to memories
of her early deportation to Kazakhstan by the Soviet regime.
The village of Gorelovka is located in Southern Georgia. It was founded
in mid 19th century by Dukhobors, a group of Russian religious
dissidents banished by Nicholas I. They managed to keep their identity
and traditions throughout the Soviet period. However, under political
and economical pressure, many Dukhobors have now left Georgia and the
heritage is disappearing with the last inhabitants.
