The film produced by Swiss Alva Film in coproduction with Georgian Takes Film follows a single woman who has chosen not to marry in a village where gossip dictates the norm. The film was already acquired by Totem Films (France).

Helene Naveriani was born in Georgia and moved to Switzerland. This is her third feature film.

Young Romanian director Alexandru Mironescu was included in the Directors’ Factory programme, which aims at facilitating the emergence of new talents on the international  scene by allowing four newly formed pairs (a regional director associated with an international director) to co-direct a film. This year the focus region is Portugal.
