Movie Haiku:Eka (Babluani) is a 14 year old girl living in Tbilisi, Georgia in 1992 [= right after the break-up of the former Soviet Union]. She lives with her mother & older sister. Her father is in prison but we never know why & for how long. Film covers the period when her BFF Natia (Bokeria) is forced to marry a local tough. Despite striking scenes, it made little overall sense to us.
