Mariam Khatchvani : 2013
Under the ruthless law of a small village in the Svaneti countryside in Georgia, a young widow, Tekle, is forced to marry the first man who claims her and, as a result, has to leave her daughter behind. Upon waking, the child discovers that her mother has disappeared. Wandering out into the snow, the winter aura of mountain space intensifies little Dinola's feeling of helplessness. Based on real events, the film is dedicated to the director's grandmother, and to every other child who has been forcibly separated from their mother because of Svanish Law. Mariam Khatchvani's film was awarded the DaKINO 24 Trophy in the Short Fiction Competition category at DaKINO International Film Festival 2015, and screened at Kraków Film Festival 2015.
