One line that strikes me "In Georgian dance the weakness is not allowed" echoes directly to the story line. The main characters show their strength, by accepting who they truly are. Hats off to the amazing cast, their bravery and dedication!

I LOVED the performance of the lead actor Levan. So heartfelt, so unfledged, so raw. You can instantly feel what Merab feels. I also loved the fact, that the director has kept the film with a positive vibe, all the homophobia and heartbreak aside. There was a silent but unmissable critisism towards the church. The insight views of family life, eating culture and music (polyphonic singing) and of course the traditional Georgian dance were great. I am a gay man and have seen a lot of LGBTQ+ themed movies, but the Robyn-Honey scene was one of the sexiest scenes i have ever experienced in a movie because Merab opened up completely without fear or any struggles with his identity and was so much in love. I live in Germany and I have been to several places around the world but actually know nothing about our eastern neighburs which is a shame. Thank You so much!

Congratulations on the courage of the entire team that made this film possible! I'm Brazilian, I didn't know Georgia and its conservative culture. I am happy that people like you shed light on systematized homophobia that all Gays in this beautiful country suffer. I would like to embrace all LABTQs who suffer from hatred and ignorance.

Fantastic film and Levan Gelbakhiani is the most talented actor I`ve seen in years! It is so emotional and fascinating to watch his performance. I hope we will see him soon in more good movies!
