Cast

Reception

The film gained national and international recognition. The film has received mostly positive reviews. Jury members from the Corto Imola Festival noted "Rati Tsiteladze has been able to tell and show, in a poetic black and white way and with an increasing suspence, the drama of a real story: a single (and alone) mother forced to hide the existence of her child in front of a community that is only able to judge and disapprove."[11] Mostra de Curtmetratges per la Identitat noted: "PRIZE FOR THE BEST SHORT FILM: "DEDA" (Georgia, Rati Tsiteladze) for its denunciation to the repression to exercise with freedom the right to be a mother."[12] The film brought the issue of single mothers on the surface within the region.[13] [14] There are over 40 000 child born from an unregistered relationship and women who give birth to the child out of wedlock, are rejected not only by their partners but also their families and society.[15] [16] [17] The film has raised the question about what the government or society is doing in order to make a difference.[18] [19] [20]
